Steven Spielberg Worked on ‘Interstellar’ for One Year and Says ‘I Became Fascinated With It’ Before Dropping Out: ‘It Was a Much Better Movie in Nolan’s Hands’
Steven Spielberg Worked on ‘Interstellar’ for One Year and Says ‘I Became Fascinated With It’ Before Dropping Out: ‘It Was a Much Better Movie in Nolan’s Hands’
> “I was involved with ‘Interstellar’ for a year… and I became fascinated with it. I spent a lot of time at the [Jet Propulsion Laboratory] in Pasadena, California, talking to the scientists there and the aerospace engineers.”
> “I actually hired Chris Nolan’s brother [Jonathan] to write the first and second draft for me, but it didn’t stick. Jonah actually said, ‘If there comes a point where you decide not to make this movie, **I can tell you who’s gonna grab it. He’s already bugging me about it. And that’s my brother Chris.’ He was absolutely right. The second I decided not to make it, Chris jumped on board, probably the next day. ‘Interstellar’ was a much better movie in Chris Nolan’s hands than it would have been in mine.**”

This dude has his hands on so many scripts.
You’d be surprised how many movies he had his name attached to at one point.
Everything from The Truman show, to apparently Interstellar.
