Interstellar: 10 Titbits That Will Get You Even More Excited

9. We€™ll Be Visiting More Than One Planet

Whether or not Cooper and the crew ever make it back home remains to be seen, but what we will see when they launch their interstellar voyage is more than one alternative to Mother Earth. You€™ve probably seen the trailers by now, so you€™ll be aware that at one point Cooper and his crew have to steer their way through an icy environment, where jagged mountains rise from the ground and come down from the sky, but also encounter a tidal wave that makes a tsunami look like a wind-swept puddle. Although the extreme landscapes of southern Iceland were used as locations in both instances, these environments represent two different places visited as part of the Lazarus mission; one a lagoon planet, and the other an ice world. Little else has been revealed as regards what takes place when McConaughey and co. land their Ranger craft on these planets, but the locations certainly proved challenging for cast and crew. Production was brought to a standstill on more than one occasion due to gale-force winds and some action sequences were filmed on a glacier, so it€™s safe to say the actors earned their salaries during the six-month shoot.

I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
