Interstellar Production Update #2: Wait… How Long is Filming in LA Lasting?

story-interstellar-update2

It’s been nearly two months since the start of production on Christopher Nolan’s ninth feature film: Interstellar. Our first Production Update – ya know, the one where we announced the risky business policy of not reporting on set photos – started a number of conversations. We received a lot of support from fans, readers, other sites, as well as Paramount. At that time, filming had just began in Alberta, Canada. And for the month or so that Interstellar was in Canada, set reports and photos did pop up here and there. They weren’t as prominent as they were for The Dark Knight Rises, but photos of cast and crew filming floated around the forums, the blogs, and the tumblrs of the world.

While Interstellar news sites are popping up left and right with the promise of bringing you set photos from the film’s production, which started today, we here at Nolan Fans have decided to get out of that game pretty much altogether.

On the site we were pretty anti-spoiler and anti-footage, yet we still posted production updates containing vast amounts of unofficial set photos. Why this contradiction in principles? Set photos are unquestionably something of great interest to many readers. As the founders of this community, we wanted to appeal to our fellow fans, expand our reach, and bring in traffic to the site to keep it alive and running.

Production Update #13: A “That’s A Wrap!” Wrap-Up

The Dark Knight Rises Wraps

And so you have it, The Dark Knight Rises has wrapped its 7 month long, 3 continent wide shoot. It has certainly been an adventure for Christopher Nolan and the cast & crew of the final installment of the Gotham Trilogy. From May in Jodhpur, India to November in New York City, the filming of The Dark Knight Rises has been a widely publicized, massive production. And yet somehow it stayed relatively secretive in the grand scheme of things, especially for those who didn’t scour the internet for every cellphone video and photo from the sets.

We covered the important milestones of the production over the span of twelve production updates. We’ll summarize those articles, as well as include a batch of the latest and last photos from filming in NYC, here in this final update. If you’ve managed to hold yourself to a strict standard of spoiler-avoidance, read no more. Although it should be noted that we hold ourselves to a somewhat strict standard, and the things we mention tend to be relatively mild in their spoiler-y-ness. Continue reading →
