Interstellar is an upcoming science fiction film to be produced and directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie, described by Spielberg to be a cerebral sci-fi film, will be themed on wormholes.
In June 2006, Paramount Pictures announced its goal to develop a space travel story with director Steven Spielberg about "a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension". Producer Lynda Obst and Caltech physicist Kip Thorne, the latter who has studied the possibility of traversable wormholes, devised a script treatment that had drawn the attention of Spielberg.
In January 2007, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan met with the studio to discuss adapting Obst and Thorne's treatment into a narrative screenplay. The screenwriter suggested the addition of a "time element" to the treatment's basic idea, which was welcomed by Obst and Thorne. In March, Paramount hired Nolan, who will begin adapting the treatment after completing the script for Warner Bros.' The Chicago Fire. The following July, Kip Thorne said there was a push by people for him to portray himself in the film Interstellar.
