“I think I have every interest in making this film”
Referring to both emergency, adrenaline, fear, unknown and immensity, it represents an interstellar journey all by itself. It is also by hearing Hans Zimmer interpreting some notes of his future partition on the piano that Christopher Nolan made the decision to embark on the Interstellar adventure.
“”(…) I played him [ce morceau] without looking at him “said Zimmer in 2021 In the Reelblend podcast.
“He was sitting on this sofa that you see behind me. So I didn't face him, I went to the end of the song and asked him: 'So what do you think?' He just looked back and said to me: 'Hmm, I think I have every interest in making this film.' And I asked him, 'What is this film?' Because he had never told me what it was. “
