Would it be possible to get a copy of this, I am deadly interested!!!!
Finally got a chance to read the 2008 draft. I liked it.
Different parts reminded me of many different movies. Abyss. Sphere. Event Horizon. Sunshine. Pitch Black. Definitely some similarities to Inception in there. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if when they were in pre-production on Inception they cherry picked some things from this script, since it was still unknown what would happen with it.
I'm sure Chris will make heavy changes to it, but reading the draft and seeing the teaser, you can see some connections.

What is the quota a writer needs to have input in the screenplay to get name credit ? I think SAG in USA has some sort of limits. Does anyone knows how much ?

I've skimmed a lot of the script and here's what I think:

I've read it now, and I imagine the first acting being mostly untouched. It's the best part of the script in my opinion. It does move a little fast, and make some big leaps of logic for throwing cooper into the ship. A little contrived.
Hello,
I'm a new Nolan Fan member! I'm a fan of Inception and hopefully the upcoming Interstellar. As I'm also a fan of sci-fi movies such as Contact, 2001, Knowing, Prometheus, Europa Report, and others, and Interstellar might be Nolan's first ode to the sci-fi genre, I'm rooting for this movie big time! I recently watched Matthew McConaughey in Contact and Reign of Fire, and think he's great in these, and just based on the new Interstellar teaser, I can already see an emotional performance from him.
I recently read the 2008 version of the Interstellar script by Jonathan Nolan, and have so many questions. It seems the script is very short - as I'm not used to reading movie scripts, is this usual? For instance, Carl Sagan's novel for Contact is 434 pages. Is the Contact script much shorter also? I understand that in movies you must make cuts from novels, because it's not even possible to have all of an author's thoughts and ideas in a movie that's 2 1/2 hrs long. But, I'm just curious if you could let me know your thoughts on how long certain parts of the 2008 Interstellar script would most likely last on screen, i.e. how long does this brilliant Neutron Star zooming through space opener last on screen? I remember Contact had a stunner of an opening - about 3 mins... Any other insights into how to determine how long Interstellar movie scenes are vs. how long the respective portion of the script is, would also be fun to learn your thoughts on!
Thanks!

General rule of thumb for screenwriting is that one page = one minute of screentime. So the leaked script is 120 pages, translating to ~120 minutes, or 2 hours. That's an older version of the script though, it's since been re-written, or at least tweaked. Here's a brief rundown on Nolan's movie runtimes:
Following - 69 minutes
Memento - 113 minutes
Insomnia - 118 minutes (only movie where Nolan didn't have a hand in writing the script)
Batman Begins - 141 minutes
The Prestige - 130 minutes
The Dark Knight - 153 minutes
Inception - 148 minutes
The Dark Knight Rises - 165 minutes
My personal guess is that it'll be around 2 hours and 30 minutes. I don't think it'll be longer than TDKR; the IMAX film prints for TDKR were huge, barely fitting onto the platter.
