Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the sci-fi epic will return to theatres in Nolan’s preferred format, boosting cinema nostalgia

Paramount Pictures has announced the much-anticipated re-release of Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” in honour of its 10th anniversary. Set to hit theatres on September 27, 2024, the film will be available in 70MM IMAX prints, Nolan’s format of choice, alongside digital screenings. This event was revealed at today’s CinemaCon presentation, exciting fans of the director’s expansive cinematic visions.

The return of “Interstellar” aligns with a series of re-releases of Nolan’s films, which have been drawing significant attention following the blockbuster success of his latest film, “Oppenheimer.” The recent Oscar-winning film, which grossed nearly a billion dollars worldwide, predominantly benefitted from its IMAX presentations. “Interstellar” itself is part of a broader promotion by Regal Cinemas, offering a nostalgic trip through Nolan’s filmography at a reduced price, including hits like “The Dark Knight” and “Inception.”

Originally released in 2014, “Interstellar” explores the adventures of an ex-NASA pilot, portrayed by Matthew McConaughey, who traverses the cosmos to locate a new home for humanity as Earth nears its end. The film, supported by a stellar cast including Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, and Michael Caine, was both a critical and commercial success, accumulating over $733 million globally.

Upon its initial release, the film was met with acclaim for its ambitious scope and visually stunning execution, though it received mixed reviews regarding its complex narrative. IGN rated it an 8/10, describing it as a “flawed, ambitious, gorgeous film” that could either captivate or confound its audience.
