Nolan's Script Delivery: PA's German Adventure
17 Jul
Summary
- Christopher Nolan sent a production assistant to Germany with the Interstellar script.
- Matt Damon was filming elsewhere in rural Germany at the time.
- The assistant explored Germany while waiting for Damon to receive the script.
Before filming began for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, lead actor Matt Damon received the script in an unconventional manner. While Damon was engaged in shooting 'The Monuments Men' in rural Germany, Nolan dispatched a production assistant to deliver the script in person, refusing to send it through conventional mail. The assistant, who had never traveled outside the United States, embarked on an unexpected exploration of rural Germany as Damon had an early morning shoot and could only read the script the following evening.
Upon finally reading the script, Damon described an overwhelming emotional reaction, stating he was a 'puddle.' This intense response was due to the script's impact and his separation from his children during the Germany filming. Damon eventually took on the role of Dr. Mann in Interstellar, a character central to one of the film's significant plot twists. The article also mentions Nolan's other film, 'The Odyssey,' released in India and notable for being shot entirely with IMAX technology.
