ProductionInterstellar is directed by Christopher Nolan and produced by Emma Thomas and Lynda Obst. Nolan co-wrote ascreenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan. The project began development in June 2006 when Paramount Picturesand filmmaker Steven Spielberg announced plans for a science fiction film based on a treatment by Kip Thorne, atheoretical physicist. Obst was attached to produce the film, which Variety said would "take several years to cometogether" before Spielberg directed it. By March 2007, Jonathan Nolan was hired to write a screenplay forInterstellar. Later in 2007, Thorne told The Australian that the film "is based on warped space-time". Thorne alsosaid that people wanted him to be cast as himself in the film.The film remained in development for several years. In January 2013, Christopher Nolan entered negotiations withParamount and Warner Bros. to direct Interstellar. Nolan intended to write a screenplay based on his own idea thathe would merge with his brother's screenplay. By the following March, Nolan was confirmed to direct Interstellar,which would be produced under his label Syncopy and Lynda Obst Productions. Though Paramount and WarnerBros. are traditionally rival studios, Warner Bros., who released Nolan's Batman films and works with Nolan'sSyncopy, sought a stake in Nolan's production of Interstellar for Paramount. Warner Bros. agreed to give Paramountits rights to co-finance the next film in the Friday the 13th horror franchise and to have a stake in a future film basedon the TV series South Park. The negotiation also involved Warner Bros. agreeing to let Paramount co-finance "ato-be-determined A-list Warners property". In August 2013, Legendary Pictures was announced to be a thirdco-financier for Interstellar. It had a partnership with Warner Bros. for eight years until the previous June, when thepartnership broke up. Despite the split, Legendary acquired a stake in Interstellar and reportedly would "finance 25percent or more" of the film.In April 2013, Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway were cast in the film's starring roles. Other well-known actors eventually joined what would become "an all-star cast". Actor Irrfan Khan said he had to decline a role since he wanted to be in India for the releases of The Lunchbox and D-Day. For the film's production, cinematographer
