Steven Spielberg’s Original Version of Interstellar

[@gm6856]

I would love to see 3 big name directors get the same script and see how wildly different the movies end up being. It would be such a cool experiment

[@mrconnor628]

I always loved the idea of short films like this. Like a bunch of big name directors make a 10-15 min haunted house film or something

[@shazanali692]

I still want to see want to see Cameron's Spiderman vision, and it's 30 year now

[@RobbDorn]

In my opinion, Nolan’s interpretation was a way better and more complete story. All I could think watching this video, was what would A.I. have looked like had Kubrick directed it instead of Spielberg.

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

I don’t think too different. The ending, which everyone attributes to Spielberg, was all Kubrick. The only main difference would probably have been a slower paced film.

[@nunyabizness6595]

I know Kubrick was known for long lingering shots. Love the guy but man, do some tighter editing. I'm going into a coma.😂😂😂

[@Fredrik-iz4ou]

Spielberg did AI as much to the direction of Kubrick as he could, as BulletsandB writes, and really as faithfully to Kubrick's intention as he or anybody else, probably, would be able to (it's not easy doing anything in the style of somebody else). As for it having become a slower paced film under Kubrick: No, not to a substantial degree. Spielberg's AI is too slow for the majority of its non-potential audience, already, and even if Kubrick had slow pace, his slowness never got boring. Spielberg is an expert in fast paces. When he goes into slow mode, he often becomes boring. In this case Spielberg managed to strike a good balance, by his standard of expertise and flaws combined, making AI for an acceptable balance of progression and pace. I disagree with RobbDorn, the Spielberg version at least sounds much better than Nolan's. As for slow-paced boredom, it would be difficult to make Interstellar worse than did Nolan. It's the epitome of boredom.

[@Herfinnur]

A.I. Is in my top five favorite films and above 2001: a Space Odyssey, so I personally can't easily imagine it would have been better

[@Fredrik-iz4ou]

​@@Herfinnur Interesting. AI asks and answers fundamental questions about being human. 2001 does it about Mankind and how to live in it, and how most of us will die from it. As Rob Ager has shown, it's a message from Kubrick never to trust the government and its media. If it's in widespread media it's propaganda, ALL of it. And others have shown 2001s framework is that of Genesis 25:19-34 where the second born son Jacob tricks the firstborn Esau of his birthright and re-creates Eden, solely for the sake of the Chosen People. (Bowman=Jacob, Poole=Esau). I also find it difficult to imagine how AI could have been better. The boy's clear eyes that never ever blinks even once during the whole film (they're never wide shut to avoid seeing painful things, but instead always wide open) to get full comprehension of the world and its machinations made me try to do the same regarding AI.

[@zacharyburau6657]

Very glad we got Nolan’s version, solid video!

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

Same and thanks!

[@dagmichael]

I love Interstellar (one of my favorite movies), but this version basically omits the parts I don't like, especially the super cheesy love/gravity angle, culminating in a 4th dimensional climax. 4th dimension = awesome. The abstract concept of "love" being its own tangible force within the 4th dimension and the universe... COME ON. Interstellar had so many fascinating scientific ideas driving it, so much as to push the visuals of a black hole into actual REALITY. It deserved a much less schmaltzy climax and a more mesmerizing one. Also the whole Mann (Dr. Hugh Mann - HUMAN, get it? Ffs...) fist-fight in space drama just felt so out of place. Although I like his whole traditional OPPOSITE reaction of a near-death experience: EXTREME cowardice - which quite honestly is more in line with actual human behavior. This version also adds what I think Interstellar was lacking: more intriguing interstellar adventure. I'm sure it would have its own cheesy parts to not like, but there aren't enough big-budget space adventures for this version not to exist, in my opinion. Either way, awesome video! I had quite a few good chuckles at some of the choices of footage, being a big Data-fan.

[@kingkiller5325]

​@@dagmichaelYeah same here. I always tell people that tbe first 2/3rd of Interstellar is one of the best Space Sci Fi films I've ever seen. And then tbe 3rd act happens. How the movie shifts from this incredibly scientific narrative to "Love transcends space and time" gives me whiplash. Then we have Coop and Tars survivia Black Hole which no amount of 4th Dimensional Interference is going to save you from. And ofcourse there's also the bit where Murphy sees her Dad's old watch twitching after like 30 Years and just assumes that it's her Dad sending her information from about Singularities from inside a Black hole in Morse Code instead of you know just assuming that her dad's dead and the watch is broken because of course she does. Don't you know Love transcends space and time. Not to mention the fact that ofcourse complex mathematical works and information about gravity and Singularities can be conveyed and interpreted through Morse Code. But for some reason whenever I bring this up I get attacked by Nolan fanatics.

[@LoganScottY]

@@dagmichael Spielbergs version sounds a lot more cheesy

[@dagmichael]

@@LoganScottY I honestly think one of the cheesiest ideas in the history of cinema is "love" being a magical force in the universe, capable of affecting matter. It's like a super cheesy version of THE force in Star Wars. Some of the ideas in Spielbergs version are more conventional, sure. But conventional ideas surrounded by great writing and some really clever material works better as a whole. IMO.

[@darinhaller6034]

I am a huge fan of Contact and knew about Steven Spielberg being attached was excited about it but even more excited when Christopher Nolan took over! Interstellar is one of my favorite movies of all time!

[@geminijinxies7258]

Contact is without a doubt a top 10 movie but Interstellar in spite of being really well made it just doesn't engage me. The same goes for many of his other films so maybe they're not for me. But I'm happy that you're able to enjoy it.

@@geminijinxies7258 You’re right, but his acting fit this role perfectly. The music, city backdrops, settings and cinematography were 🤌. The visuals and that deep base music when K was flying in and out of the city just took the whole movie to another level in my opinion. The effects were top notch. And the whole question of what does it mean to be human was a great premise. Also the question of what is real love. Even though Joi was a program K truly felt she loved him. And I honestly I think she did. It was heartbreaking when Luv destroyed her. I wish they would they would explore this universe more. There is so much potential. It’s my understanding that it’s the same universe as Prometheus right? I know they had a statue of the Engineers.

[@ajrtraill8085]

Considering how literal the time travel is in this version, I can see why Nolan went for something more metaphysical.

[@retromacman620]

The original script seems to have a bit more outlandish Sci fi, though it's still semi plausible. I love this and I think it seems very intriguing. I do enjoy the original personally, but this is neat to hear about. The ending of the original film is really what makes it so great

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

[@kingkiller5325]

​@@mkinvincibleWell in all honesty Nolan's resolution was also not at all Scientifically plausible.

[@apreviousseagle836]

Spierberg's take sounds like a more Hollywoodized take of the film. Nolan's version was more cerebral, and especially the ending was much much better in Nolan's film. The Spielberg ending would have just been the typical "time traveler comes back to meet his great grandkids" trope, that would have left the movie empty of emotion. Nolan, on the other hand, realised that a promise is a promise. Fuck space and time, Cooper was going to break the rules of space-time itself to get back to his daughter, proving that love really is the thread of our existence. And it has the decency to acknowledge, that even though Cooper kept his promise, he still is, in fact, a man out of his time, and goes back to the only person that makes sense to be with. I'm going to have to watch this movie again, it's an effin' masterpiece.

[@bensneb360]

While I have a few issues with Interstellar, this video made me appreciate it more compared to what we could of gotten. It sounds interesting, but the film we got worked out better

[@Bulletsandblockbusters]

💯

[@queencancerous5332]

This was most likely a first draft and at this point I don't think Spielberg wanted to do any more big budget Hollywood movies.

[@ollyhp]

Im so glad we got Nolans direction in the end, this movie means way more to me than any other movie, it is what made me pursue a passion in space and helped me understand a meaning in life.

[@thebarksman]

Spielberg would've had it rewritten for sure coz that first draft was convoluted as hell. I loved the ones we got though.

I'm actually glad Nolan did this instead. Because we've already had lots of Spielberg sci-fi up to this point. Inception is sci-fi too, but Interstellar is true space sci-fi and something I wanted to see Nolan tackle.

[@anotherpointlessvideo3654]

Nolan's treatment of Interstellar was unique, mind bending and one of the best sci-fi movies of its time. He made it feel like the solution to humanity was really "out there".

[@chigeh]

Well Nolan's version kind of kept the "gravity box" didn't it? Except it was a hyper-cube that was man-made and connected to Murph's bed room. But for the rest I agree, this version is somehow more convoluted than Nolan's final version.

[@Orozco_PNW]

I liked how the gravity solution was kept more abstract in Nolan's version, rather than some Marvel/Star Wars style McGuffin that is the key to everything. The morse code and the timepiece movement execution strengthened the connection between the dad and daughter @@chigeh

[@queencancerous5332]

You can still see a little of Spielberg's version in the finished movie, the entire family dynamic and ending feel very Spielberg honestly.

[@RumbleFish69]

No.....I'm sorry, but I disagree. There was none of Spielberg's signature character in this film. Spielberg family endings generally end in tears and many feelings attached. The end of Interstellar was devoid of feeling and it was anything but "family." When Coop walks into the hospital room and he is surrounded by this so-called "family" but not one of them steps up to greet him, hug him, or welcome him home, that is just cold and it makes this scene anything but family.... These people showed no excitement at all, and that makes it a totally flat and poorly written scene. Even the "Murph" character was poorly written. As a child, I could understand her anger towards her dad for him leaving, but as a grown-up, and privy to why her father did what he did, and eventually finding out that her father left to save her, she remained angry, which is just really stupid and nonsensical. The Murph character should have been like: "Yeah, for years I was angry with my father, but then I learned why he left....I might never see him again, but I am proud of him for trying to save the world...." Do you know why that would have been good? Because it makes sense!!! But no, instead of acting like a reasonable "family" member, Murph continues to harbor ill feelings right to the very end. And, Cooper only regained any credibility and value to Murph when she realized that he did send the quantum data. And, her brother??? That guy was the worst! He was EVERYTHING but family oriented. He wasn't even family to his own immediate family! His wife was clearly scared of him. In fact, she was so scared of him that she let one child die and was willing to let another one die rather than face this demonic assh*le head on! That guy was just a bitter dude who even threw his own sister out of the house and told her to never come back. Yeah, all that stuff sounds like a real family to me! And, that BS line Murphy says about knowing that he would come back because he promised her....Well, if she knew so much that he was coming back, then why harbor anger towards the man that you supposedly knew was coming back for all those years, and adult years? I'm sorry, but did we actually watch the same movie? It sure doesn't sound like we did.

Boy am I glad Chris got the film. One of the best films ever. It’s moving, exciting, intense, emotional,sad. BUT without the score would be different. That score is something special, especially using that live pipe organ just brings it home. Organs give you a feeling of both death, faith, and power. Such a 4k masterpiece. Imagine what score Steven woulda used which wouldn’t work. I mean all speculation but Steven’s version doesn’t sound grounded, while Chris does.

[@pdzombie1906]

People complained about the coldness of Nolan, then he released Interstellar and the same people complained about the love speech... Haters gonna hate, even at the face of a masterpiece...

[@apreviousseagle836]

I think the speech came out a little flat. It just stood out too overtly. Nolan likes to do a lot of exposition though, to catch up the audience and save some time/money by not having to build complicated backstories. Because the theme of love being intertwined with space-time was so integral to the theme of the movie, this is the one thing I wish he would have shown us, and not told us. This is why that speech gets some complaints.

[@dagmichael]

The love/spacetime speech (and idea) is silly to the point of cringeworthiness next to just about any of the other science-based, causative events driving the narrative. It's got no basis in anything tangible - it's just fluff. Interstellar was a truly SMART, well-constructed film partially ruined by one gullible idea. I can imagine Kip Thorne himself rolling his eyes at it. I don't think it's hate, just an all-round solid complaint. The idea of love would still be just as absolutely devastating within the narrative, even if it wasn't magically made an actual, tangible 4th-dimensional force. Love (being the relatable and elusive concept it actually is) heavily influencing the actions of the characters (something that's still in the film) ALONE, would 100% make it better, IMO. I was in awe of the rest of the film (except perhaps the exoplanet fist-fight) - but that part just made me go, 'Really? You're ACTUALLY going with that?'

[@jonm3131]

@@apreviousseagle836 This complaint has merit. I speaks more towards a "flaw" seen in Christopher Nolan's work - his scripts or dialogue sometimes are out of place and has the potential to be a lot better. His brother actually carries a lot of the script load, and in movies where his brother hasnt been involved, it turned out to be a huge mess (i.e Tenet). Nolan + an epic script writer (who has decision making ability in directing), would be a great duo.

[@daniloribeiro5372]

The movie revolves around the love of a father striving to reunite with his daughter. It's important to note that Copper embarks on his mission to enhance his family's life out of love. This aspect often gets overlooked. It's a poignant reminder that acts of love and sacrifice are vital for humanity's survival in the coming centuries.

[@maximecoulombe1532]

It is not mention here, but there is no way that any Studio would have approved a script where China is depicted has doing any vilainous stuff (even if it is robot from the future). This would not pass their censors and the Studio know this. Beside that, the original writing is just too complicated and lack the meaningful ending that we've got in movie.

My pleasure and I agree. I think it’s a solid film but something was missing from putting it over the edge into a masterpiece.

Spielberg’s Interstellar has kids sneaking onto the spacecraft

Thank god Christopher Nolan directed Interstellar

[@sidbeckett5655]

A Kip Thorne idea, developed by Spielberg, written by J Nolan, directed by C Nolan, and with an ending straight from M Knight Shymalan.

I''m glad we got the Nolan version
