Isn’t amazing how one person can make a difference? Christopher Nolan is among the few auteurs in the industry who embraces practicality over computer graphics.
All of his major filmographies resemble this idea including The Dark Knight, Dunkirk, Oppenheimer etc. But the director exceeded his bar after growing real crops for Cooper’s farm in Interstellar.
The Director revealed that the team planted 500 acres of corn for a more immersive and authentic experience. He took the help of Zack Snyder, who previously grew 100 acres of corn for Man of Steel.
The filmmaker’s $100K gamble to grow corn in Western Canada, outside Calgary did eventually pay off after the colossal success of the movie.
