Interstellar IMAX rerelease

The highly anticipated IMAX re-release of Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' has been postponed from September 27, 2024, to December 6, 2024, amidst troubling rumors that Paramount Pictures may have destroyed its 70mm prints of the film. While sources originally claimed the prints were archived, recent allegations suggest that nearly all copies have been lost, leaving Nolan reportedly furious and questioning the studio's decision-making. The outcry from fans highlights the cultural significance of preserving such prints, especially given Nolan's preference for IMAX and 70mm formats. With the current situation, only a limited number of theaters that retained their original prints could potentially screen the film. Paramount has not provided an official comment regarding these rumors, and no explanations have been given for the abrupt changes to the release schedule. This situation mirrors past incidents where Paramount has mismanaged film prints, raising concerns among cinephiles about the future of film preservation.
