Happy Monday!
The stars are beginning to align…
Interstellar will start premiering in theaters nationwide starting the middle of next week, providing movie fans with the most epic cinematic journey of the year. Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan, this scientific theory-based space adventure is much more than just that. It will connect with moviegoers through family, love, mystery and survival, if the trailers are any indication. The premiere was held on the black carpet yesterday in Hollywood and this spectacular event is happy proof that months of filming and years of development is finally here for the world to see.
Not only are the trailers visually stunning, but the music has been equally mesmerizing. To kick of the workweek, below is the music from Interstellar’s fourth trailer:
Happy Monday!
Space & Time
“We’ll find a way…we always have”
Dedication to a particular craft is essential to those who aspire to making something that transcends the ordinary and moves us into a space in the extraordinary. Movie director Christopher Nolan continues to build his resume of critically acclaimed movies that excel in acting, production, writing, creativity, intelligence and a gravitas most films fail to reach. One explanation is that Nolan is an independent filmmaker who succeeds in making blockbuster hits with the acute skills of an independent filmmaker, but with crazy blockbuster budgets and expectations.
True story.
Another hypothesis is that because he dedicates himself to one movie at a time, it translates into an investment that proves to elevate his films above the rest. Fans know that when a Christopher Nolan movie is released that it will be something grand in scale, thought-provoking and visually stunning with a pulsating soundtrack courtesy of his longtime musical collaborator Hans Zimmer.
Another teaser trailer has been released for Interstellar and it’s worthwhile to see. There’s one detail in particular that’s revealed that will undoubtedly be a string that will pull at our hearts throughout this space epic. It has to do with a conversion of time.
Christopher Nolan’s singular cinematic commitment is truly reaching for the stars in Interstellar.
Will you be so tenacious come early November?
A Stellar Soundtrack
Some days don’t require words. Sometimes, a sound can trigger such powerful emotions that the boundaries that surround us suddenly evaporate to become limitless.
This is one of those sounds:
While the trailer this music accompanies (Interstellar) is utterly fantastic in its intergalactic teasing prior to its November 7th release, the ever-building vibrations are inspirational enough on its own.
Hearing is believing.
The Magnetism of Uncertainty
Ambiguity is a powerful, mesmerizing force. The uncertainty can seem boundless, unwilling to yield an answer or sense of finality. In the truest sense, not knowing can create a more treacherous journey than having something spelled out in front of you with clarity.
“Why don’t I know?”
“How can I find out?”
Equal in its hypnotic prowess is the art of music. When a song or an instrumental (music’s bare bones) can touch a nerve within us that yearns for discovering something in the unknown, that motivational energy is special…as well as frustrating. Unfortunately, Christopher Nolan’s next cinematic masterpiece Interstellar will not arrive into theaters until November. Fortunately, the song below (from the film’s second trailer) is available now.
Uncovering the mystery of the unknown can lead to an expedition of epic proportions. As the instrumental proves, the unknown can surround us until we finally choose to move in its direction.
We know the beginning, it’s just the ending that’s a bit unclear…
