Continuing the legacy begun by Imax trailblazer Christopher Nolan and his use of the 15 perf 65mm Imax cameras in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan has once again captured key sequences of "INTERSTELLAR" using Imax cameras. These specific sequences will expand to fill the entire screen exclusively in Imax theatres with breathtaking image quality and scope for a truly immersive experience.

"INTERSTELLAR" stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow and Michael Caine. With our time on Earth coming to an end, a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history; traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan, and produced by Emma Thomas, Christopher Nolan and Lynda Obst.

Sequences of "INTERSTELLAR" filmed in 35mm will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The Imax Experience with proprietary Imax DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
