Christopher Nolan may have ended up helming Interstellar but the film was originally penned by his brother Jonathan Nolan, and was meant to be directed by Steven Spielberg. After Christopher Nolan signed on to helm the film, the original script was reworked to fit Nolan's vision. Among the changes made to the script was obviously the ending. The final cut of Interstellar sees Matthew McConaughey’s character entering a black hole, and finding himself upon a fifth dimensional tesseract. From there he’s able to reach back and make contact with his daughter, played by Mackenzie Foy and Jessica Chastain, at different ponts of her life.

Yesterday co-writer Jonathan Nolan attended a media event in anticipation of the upcoming Blu-ray release of Interstellar. At the event the writer revealed the originalending which you can say was less "complicated". This ending saw “the Einstien-Rosen bridge [colloquially, a wormhole] collapse when Cooper tries to send the data back."

So what do you guys think about that ending? Do you prefer the final version? Either way sound off below.



 
The adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), a script based on the combination of an original idea by Nolan and an existing script by Jonathan Nolan. The cast includes: Matthew McConaughey (“Dallas Buyers Club”), Anne Hathaway (“Les Miserables”), Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty”), Bill Irwin (“Rachel Getting Married”), John Lithgow (“Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Casey Affleck (“Gone Baby Gone”), David Gyasi (“Cloud Atlas”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Mackenzie Foy (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Parts 1 and 2”) Timothée Chalamet (TV’s “Homeland”), Topher Grace (“Spider-Man 3”), David Oyelowo (“Jack Reacher”), Ellen Burstyn (“The Exorcist”), and Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules”. Interstellar will debut on Digital HD March 17 and on Blu-ray, DVD and On Demand March 31.

It was cool....

I'm sick of Nolan though.... His best work is still Batman Begins, TDK, Memento and The Prestige

True, Inception rocked, haha, I thought about that after I posted the comment

It would have collapsed?
Would Cooper have just been trapped in the Tesseract or would it have collapsed in on him?
Does that mean that the data would have never reached Earth, and they all would have died?
Well shoot, now I am confused! And depressed!!

Interstellar was a good movie. A little over complicated IMO, lots of science babble that almost put me to sleep if i didn't understand it.

Can't wait for his next film. I saw the inclusion of the more emotional material as a response to criticisms that his films were too cold an lacked emotion. That they preferred science instead of emotion. Hopefully he will perfect that balance and deliver another great film.
There some who disagree, but The Dark Knight is aging well. It was placed at # 1 on more critics top 10 lists than any other film in 2008. It's also one of the reasons why the Academy Award now nominates more films than they used to. The movie is almost 7 years old and well on it's way of being considered a classic.

So the guy has potential. And a pretty impressive track record. No director is perfect.

Nolan is up there with my favorite film makers, right under Scorsese and right above Kubrick.

I thought the ending was fine, even though I saw it coming. I'm surprised that people complain about it.

Bet if 2001 came out today it would get butchered by science police also.

The leaked draft was similar to the actual ending instead cooper makes it back to earth before being brought onto the space station. Then he takes off to find Brand just like in the film so Jonah must have tweaked it a lot before it got into Nolan's hands. Great film 8/10

It was Great film that didn't afraid to take risk and went for ambitious ideas.

I hope Nolan cooks up something very soon.

Man, this movie really screwed me up. I haven't been so emotionally involved in a cinematic experience maybe, ever. The film filled me with ambition, broke my heart, put it back together, broke it again, and left me feeling like I'd just gone through every single moment of Coop's journey personally.

In case you couldn't tell, I [frick]ing loved it.

Jonah's comments here bewilder me a bit, though. I wish he'd elaborate a bit further.

It was a good movie but man it dragged like hell. I saw people fall asleep and asking "why nothing happens" or why they don't advance the plot until the last 5 seconds.

@DrKinSolving How is Memento? have heard great things about it but haven't yet seen it.
MyNameIsKhan
MyNameIsKhan - 3/20/2015, 6:31 AM
all in all i'd give this 4.5 out 5 not Nolan's best but certainly not his worst. Oh and Inception was a dream. :)

Memento is awesome man. Probably my favorite Nolan film. For me, the way Nolan told the story was really original too, it was the first movie that I saw made in that way. Guy Pearce is amazing in it too, definitely one of his best performances.

But, you have to watch it for yourself, I don't want to spoil it.

Nolan's worst movie. So, so boring. Finally saw it last week, could barely make it through. Now, it's probably just me, because I don't have much love at all for science-fiction. Nolan peaked with The Prestige. For me, he'll never get back to that level. Inception tried, and came close. The Dark Knight trilogy was amazing, but too many plotholes (even though they were tiny and unimportant) to be listed with his best work.

I can see why people love Interstellar, but it wasn't for me.

The plot ending sounds ridiculously convoluted, it puts me off watching it - (I've read leaked screenplays, alternative endings and reviews of the film) and although in general I like wormhole related films this Nolan film sounds more trouble than its worth, i want to enjoy a film not feel mindf*cked by it and a paradox-strewn sad ending.

Terrible movie. Boring, melodramatic, typical Nolan garbage. Has very little actual scientific backing. Plays way too hard on unproved theories. If you think this movie is intelligent, you are clearly not.
