Christopher Nolan doesn’t have to be mad at Paramount Pictures, which was rumored to have destroyed 70mm prints of his 2014 Matthew McConaughey sci-fi movie.
The tremendous box-office success of the three-hour biopic Oppenheimer raised some long-term questions in Hollywood about the viability of adult-centric entertainment — but in the short term, it prompted studios to look for ways to cash in on Christopher Nolan fever. In February, Warner Bros. rereleased Nolan’s time-travel spy movie Tenet. Then Paramount took the CinemaCon stage in May to announce a revival IMAX run of the director’s 2014 space odyssey Interstellar — a plan that is still in place, despite rumors to the contrary. The film is set to hit theaters this December, Polygon can confirm.
On Wednesday, gossip swirled that the Interstellar plans might have drifted into a black hole some time over the summer due to studio negligence.
