Christopher Nolan and Timothée Chalamet recently hosted an IMAX 70mm screening of 'Interstellar' at the AMC Universal Citywalk in Los Angeles. Nolan dived into the iconic messages scene where Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) watches clips from his daughter, Murph (Mackenzie Foy), and son, Tom, played by Chalamet, who have aged many years in his absence.
Nolan said to Chalamet, “When you were filming the messages from home, there was a particular thing where you were hitting a dark tone. It felt too much for me. I didn’t particularly like it. I told you about it and you went ahead and did whatever the fuck you wanted and carried on. But I was like, ‘He knows what he wants to do and has an idea.’ It wasn’t about being stubborn. You had planned what you wanted to do. You planned your choices and you didn’t want to abandon that on a casual whim for me. You wanted to test that and challenge that and see if I kept coming back, which I didn’t. I’ll find a logic to that in the edit suite.”
Chalamet for his part talked about how his role was bigger before filming started. “Though my role is not enormous in ‘Interstellar,’ I think I was number 12 on the call sheet, this film came to me at a time in life, in my career, where things were certainly not set yet. And it’s remained my favorite project I’ve ever been in. It’s the film I’ve seen the most of, of all the films ever made in human history.”
Chalamet continued, “This was a script Nolan’s brother Jonathan wrote for Steven Spielberg. When I got the part, I googled the project. The original story was about a father and his son, so I thought, ‘Oh man, I made it!’ And then obviously they reworked it and young Tom was a smaller part, but that’s okay.”
