Spielberg said Nolan was the better fit after he spent a year developing the sci-fi film and researching with scientists at Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
- Filmmaker Steven Spielberg recently admitted Christopher Nolan was the "better" choice to direct the 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar, calling the director swap "the best call for the movie."
- Spielberg revealed on his Disclosure Day press tour he spent a year developing Interstellar after hiring screenwriter Jonathan Nolan to write early drafts, eventually dropping the project to pursue another film.

- The resulting film grossed $681 million worldwide during its initial run and secured five Oscar nominations, ultimately winning the Academy Award for best visual effects.
- During a March screening in Los Angeles, Nolan recently unpacked the film's evolution with actor Timothee Chalamet, capturing mutual respect between the directors regarding the project's journey from development to screen.
