Interstellar love (10 out of 10 ) Wow, never realized Murph was written as a boy. I think the final choice adds a nice layer of complexity in familial, social, and gender dynamics. Now I'm curious to actually learn the process behind this choice. I can't imagine a script 10+ years in the making was as simple as they found the actress and rewrote it for her.
Lauren (10 out of 10 ) I love this movie so much! P. S: Murph is a BOY?! :D.
Oliver P.P. (9 out of 10 ) While it differs hugely from the Nolan version I still think it's great. If this is the version that was produced and released in theathers I would have loved it as much as the Nolan version we got in 2014. Both are awesome.
Matt (10 out of 10 ) Wow. Interstellar is one of my all-time favorite movies, and since seeing it in the theater, I have wanted to read this screenplay. Surprisingly enough, the first several dozen pages almost don't resemble the finished film at all. That's not to say it's poorly written- Jonathan Nolan writes fluidly and gorgeously. It's just surprisingly to see that either during production or post, the movie changed so much-- for the better, I believe. Definitely worth a read, though.
Rani (10 out of 10 ) Where is the heartbreaking scene of Cooper and old Murph at the hospital?
Ory (10 out of 10 ) I thoroughly enjoyed reading the screenplay. Its really different from the movie but is still just as captivating! Honestly, the ending in the screenplay is something I prefer vs the movie's but regardless the movie did a great job.
Arun (6 out of 10 ) In movie the drone was from India. After chasing the drone to a nearby lake, Cooper used a Dell Latitude laptop to take control of the aircraft and land it without damage on a nearby hill. He then proceeded with Murphy and Tom to dismantle the aircraft for salvage. It is later seen in the back of the truck. It is unknown why the Indian drone was flying over the Great Plains of the United States, but the gravitational anomaly may have corrupted its navigational computer, taking it thousands of miles from its normal patrol area. Due to the drawdown of major militaries worldwide, it is likely that the drone was either repurposed by the Indian Government to survey national agriculture, or was a leftover of the recent resource wars that was simply unaccounted for, only continuing to fly via solar power and artificial intelligence. Cooper also mentions the quality of the solar cells by referring it as ''its Indian''.
Ryan (10 out of 10 ) Although it is of the earlier renditions of the screenplay, Jonathan Nolan's INTERSTELLAR is still remarkable in every way. I do prefer the finished film and have read that screenplay but this one is still amazing in its own accord.
Danyil (10 out of 10 ) Even though the film came out different, It doesn't look like a mistake. The screenplay and the movie both are worth reading and watching. I am shocked at how this all was intended to look like at first. So much changed. I'm going to see the movie once more.
I. Mann (10 out of 10 ) It's incredible to me how much has changed, and yet, stayed the same in this film. I definitely think that the released version is more for me, but that's not at all to say that this version is inferior. I feel this would have made a fine film if released, even if it wouldn't have been my all-time favourite.
Jonnycakes (7 out of 10 ) It's so interesting to contrast and compare the two versions of the story. I think Jonathan created a compelling narrative and a lot of solid characters, most of whom changed very little from his version to the finished film: Cooper, Brand, Tars, Case, Donald, all pretty much identical. I think it goes to show how , certainly superior to Chris in that regard, but ultimately Chris' version is the more emotionally complex, nuanced, and witty of the two stories. Chris' is more of a reflection of time, self, regret, a more human version of the story. Jonathan's version feels a lot more old-school hard sci-fi, and where there are a lot of elements shared between the two, I think Chris' story ultimately ties all of the ends together in a bit more of a satisfying manner, and that beautiful scene between Cooper and Murph in the hospital is one of the more memorable scenes in sci-fi film history.
I truly loved them both, and I would have also loved to see what changes to the script that Steven Spielberg would have made if he got to create his version of the story. The most compelling and fascinating thing in this process to me is how well the brothers feed off each others' creative work. They're incredibly compatible with each other's styles, and it really shows how much trust Chris has in his brother's work to keep so many of his original elements in the final version.
Chris Nolan shows what a brilliant mind he has for plot, cinematic moments, and sheer wit in his writing and filmmaking, and Jonathan shows his chops as a solid sci-fi writer with a lot of ideas and human, driven characters.
They mask the deficiencies of each other well. Jonathan shows he is the superior writer, and Chris shows that he is the better visionary and storyteller.
