20 Things You Didn't Know About Interstellar
6. Nolan Refused To Watch Gravity Because Of Its Similar Genre
From director Alfonso Cuaron, Gravity was another stunning space movie released in close-ish proximity to Interstellar, hitting cinemas the previous year.
But because Nolan was working on Interstellar when Gravity first came out, he actually decided not to see it, reasoning that it was a bad idea to watch a similar movie while he was toiling away on his own:
"I can't watch another great sci-fi film while I'm trying to do my own thing... to me, I'm still making this film, and getting it out there is the last stage."
He did also say that he was looking forward to seeing Gravity in a month or two, so it's safe to assume he's checked it out by now.
