I would love to see 3 big name directors get the same script and see how wildly different the movies end up being. It would be such a cool experiment
I always loved the idea of short films like this. Like a bunch of big name directors make a 10-15 min haunted house film or something
That would be very cool. I'd pay to watch that vs more Marvel drivel.
Thats actually a really brilliant idea you have there!
Their ego's wouldn't let them. in fear of being inferior.
I still want to see want to see Cameron's Spiderman vision, and it's 30 year now
In my opinion, Nolan’s interpretation was a way better and more complete story. All I could think watching this video, was what would A.I. have looked like had Kubrick directed it instead of Spielberg.
I don’t think too different. The ending, which everyone attributes to Spielberg, was all Kubrick. The only main difference would probably have been a slower paced film.
I know Kubrick was known for long lingering shots. Love the guy but man, do some tighter editing. I'm going into a coma.😂😂😂
Spielberg did AI as much to the direction of Kubrick as he could, as BulletsandB writes, and really as faithfully to Kubrick's intention as he or anybody else, probably, would be able to (it's not easy doing anything in the style of somebody else). As for it having become a slower paced film under Kubrick: No, not to a substantial degree. Spielberg's AI is too slow for the majority of its non-potential audience, already, and even if Kubrick had slow pace, his slowness never got boring. Spielberg is an expert in fast paces. When he goes into slow mode, he often becomes boring. In this case Spielberg managed to strike a good balance, by his standard of expertise and flaws combined, making AI for an acceptable balance of progression and pace.
I disagree with RobbDorn, the Spielberg version at least sounds much better than Nolan's. As for slow-paced boredom, it would be difficult to make Interstellar worse than did Nolan. It's the epitome of boredom.
A.I. Is in my top five favorite films and above 2001: a Space Odyssey, so I personally can't easily imagine it would have been better
@@Herfinnur Interesting. AI asks and answers fundamental questions about being human. 2001 does it about Mankind and how to live in it, and how most of us will die from it. As Rob Ager has shown, it's a message from Kubrick never to trust the government and its media. If it's in widespread media it's propaganda, ALL of it. And others have shown 2001s framework is that of Genesis 25:19-34 where the second born son Jacob tricks the firstborn Esau of his birthright and re-creates Eden, solely for the sake of the Chosen People. (Bowman=Jacob, Poole=Esau). I also find it difficult to imagine how AI could have been better. The boy's clear eyes that never ever blinks even once during the whole film (they're never wide shut to avoid seeing painful things, but instead always wide open) to get full comprehension of the world and its machinations made me try to do the same regarding AI.
Very glad we got Nolan’s version, solid video!
Same and thanks!
I love Interstellar (one of my favorite movies), but this version basically omits the parts I don't like, especially the super cheesy love/gravity angle, culminating in a 4th dimensional climax. 4th dimension = awesome. The abstract concept of "love" being its own tangible force within the 4th dimension and the universe... COME ON. Interstellar had so many fascinating scientific ideas driving it, so much as to push the visuals of a black hole into actual REALITY. It deserved a much less schmaltzy climax and a more mesmerizing one.
Also the whole Mann (Dr. Hugh Mann - HUMAN, get it? Ffs...) fist-fight in space drama just felt so out of place. Although I like his whole traditional OPPOSITE reaction of a near-death experience: EXTREME cowardice - which quite honestly is more in line with actual human behavior.
This version also adds what I think Interstellar was lacking: more intriguing interstellar adventure. I'm sure it would have its own cheesy parts to not like, but there aren't enough big-budget space adventures for this version not to exist, in my opinion.
Either way, awesome video! I had quite a few good chuckles at some of the choices of footage, being a big Data-fan.
@@dagmichael I actually HATE this version after seeing what we actually got...This script is, just like any other Spielberg's movie (I will sound d*mb saying this), too 'filmy'...
• The world is all alright and people don't face any consequences (when their world is literally going to end) only the main characters do...and they have to save humanity..
• the main character is a guy who has no unique skills and gets massively lucky because the plot demanded it, like having the only probe that literally traveled through the black hole simply crash land on the main guy's backyard and NASA not coming to retrieve the most important piece of information in the entire race's history.
• ...and again..the main guy is just a normal guy who got lucky and then somehow showed his "engineering" skills to impress NASA...literal NASA...
• And after all that..a robot has to sacrifice itself for a thing that's already been done (chinese already travelled through it) creating fake drama
• ...They fight the usual SCI-FI monsters which do NOTHING for the movie....Absolutely nothing..like you could remove the monsters and nothing changes..this would have (to me) felt like lazy writing so the director doesn't have to make actual tension. He literally took out the spectacle of us travelling millions of light years and replaced it with monsters we have seen in every movie across most genres.
Here comes the filmiest part, They happen to STUMBLE upon a black box that can literally save everything without them doing anything to get it..Like the entire movie overdone by one conveniently placed object
• Then an uneeded sabotage creating another fake drama (Also why were the chinese robots against saving the humanity when there original mission was exactly that?)
• .... Now somehow there's another conveniently placed wormhole appears when the first wormhole (which might I also add was conveniently placed near earth's reach but didn't destroy the earth) was made when a literal star got swallowed by a literal black hole.
• ..now the usual romance sex which does nothing for the movie except giving audience unplaced satisfaction.
• ..TARS also conveniently went to the place our main characters had to take a previously unknown wormhole to get to..
• ..And the best part: The Chinese have the technology to create wormholes (I again have to reiterate that the first one was only made when a star got sucked off by a black hole) but for whatever reason can't save the Earth because...well our main characters have to do that..
• And finally, Coop's ultimate act was to make an alien species thrive compared to the real Coop's sacrifice to save the entirety of humanity...So in Steven's version,Coop's mission changed for no reason except to give the audience the false perception of his death. Turining SCI-FI intoa fantasy (Actually I have an opinon that Steven has never really directed a SCI-FI..all of his movies end up beocming fantasies The entire would have finished without no revelations or tie-ins..Everything about this script is conveniently placed items after conveniently placed item leading to sex then another conveniently placed items leading to...NOTHING. I would've probably picked out more things but this is already too long..I mean I agree I would have liked the movie, but it would've ended becoming just another SCI-FI movie I like and I definelty wouldn't be here watching video essays on INTERSTELLAR.
P.S- I know you are not gonnna read this but hell..writing on the internet is free lol. Also my sentences might not make sense since I am high..Just smoke something and it will ALL make sense.
edit: I woke up and made it into bullet points to make it easier to understand.
And the MANN and COOP's fight was PERFECT showing what actualy human desperation would look like..There was no cinematic moves, no action music playing..just two men who don't know how to fight, brawling to stay alive
Also, imo, the interstellar adventure was PERFECT too..you don't need impossible monsters to make something intriguing. You can't pretend that the planets weren't a spectacle themselves. It showed what actual travel to inhabitable planets would look like.
@@dagmichaelYeah same here. I always tell people that tbe first 2/3rd of Interstellar is one of the best Space Sci Fi films I've ever seen.
And then tbe 3rd act happens. How the movie shifts from this incredibly scientific narrative to "Love transcends space and time" gives me whiplash.
Then we have Coop and Tars survivia Black Hole which no amount of 4th Dimensional Interference is going to save you from.
And ofcourse there's also the bit where Murphy sees her Dad's old watch twitching after like 30 Years and just assumes that it's her Dad sending her information from about Singularities from inside a Black hole in Morse Code instead of you know just assuming that her dad's dead and the watch is broken because of course she does. Don't you know Love transcends space and time.
Not to mention the fact that ofcourse complex mathematical works and information about gravity and Singularities can be conveyed and interpreted through Morse Code.
But for some reason whenever I bring this up I get attacked by Nolan fanatics.
@@dagmichael Spielbergs version sounds a lot more cheesy
I am a huge fan of Contact and knew about Steven Spielberg being attached was excited about it but even more excited when Christopher Nolan took over! Interstellar is one of my favorite movies of all time!
Contact is without a doubt a top 10 movie but Interstellar in spite of being really well made it just doesn't engage me. The same goes for many of his other films so maybe they're not for me. But I'm happy that you're able to enjoy it.
@@geminijinxies7258most sane way of putting your opinion on internet. Very rare.
While I have a few issues with Interstellar, this video made me appreciate it more compared to what we could of gotten. It sounds interesting, but the film we got worked out better
💯
This was most likely a first draft and at this point I don't think Spielberg wanted to do any more big budget Hollywood movies.
The original script seems to have a bit more outlandish Sci fi, though it's still semi plausible. I love this and I think it seems very intriguing. I do enjoy the original personally, but this is neat to hear about. The ending of the original film is really what makes it so great
Totally agree!
interesting how china made a network of wormholes and has a huge spacestation?
There not semi-plausible in science
Nolan’s version is better.
@@mkinvincibleWell in all honesty Nolan's resolution was also not at all Scientifically plausible.
Considering how literal the time travel is in this version, I can see why Nolan went for something more metaphysical.
so rare for me to actually look forward to new videos and watch them right away
Thanks! Glad you’re digging the videos
Spielberg would've had it rewritten for sure coz that first draft was convoluted as hell. I loved the ones we got though.
I'm actually glad Nolan did this instead. Because we've already had lots of Spielberg sci-fi up to this point. Inception is sci-fi too, but Interstellar is true space sci-fi and something I wanted to see Nolan tackle.
Spierberg's take sounds like a more Hollywoodized take of the film. Nolan's version was more cerebral, and especially the ending was much much better in Nolan's film. The Spielberg ending would have just been the typical "time traveler comes back to meet his great grandkids" trope, that would have left the movie empty of emotion. Nolan, on the other hand, realised that a promise is a promise. Fuck space and time, Cooper was going to break the rules of space-time itself to get back to his daughter, proving that love really is the thread of our existence. And it has the decency to acknowledge, that even though Cooper kept his promise, he still is, in fact, a man out of his time, and goes back to the only person that makes sense to be with.
I'm going to have to watch this movie again, it's an effin' masterpiece.
Im so glad we got Nolans direction in the end, this movie means way more to me than any other movie, it is what made me pursue a passion in space and helped me understand a meaning in life.
Same here!
This version lost me with the magic "Gravity Box". What a convoluted mess. I'm so glad we got Nolan's version. It's one of my favorites of his films.
and the pandering to a certain regime... thank goodness this version wasn't made.
Well Nolan's version kind of kept the "gravity box" didn't it? Except it was a hyper-cube that was man-made and connected to Murph's bed room. But for the rest I agree, this version is somehow more convoluted than Nolan's final version.
I liked how the gravity solution was kept more abstract in Nolan's version, rather than some Marvel/Star Wars style McGuffin that is the key to everything. The morse code and the timepiece movement execution strengthened the connection between the dad and daughter
@@chigeh
The clips you use to portray the alternate version of the movie have me dying 😂. Well done.
Thnx!
That Spielberg version sounds like a whole trilogy.
I think the theatrical version is the better of the two for this one
Agreed
This is one of my fave movies. Nolan did it perfect.
No he didn't. His version was absolutely garbage.
huh no@@JasonOrtiz-ye1do
Nolan's treatment of Interstellar was unique, mind bending and one of the best sci-fi movies of its time. He made it feel like the solution to humanity was really "out there".
Interstellar is one of my all time favorite movies! Great vid!
Thanks!
great way you visually pieced together the story, it really helped me follow along
You can still see a little of Spielberg's version in the finished movie, the entire family dynamic and ending feel very Spielberg honestly.
No.....I'm sorry, but I disagree. There was none of Spielberg's signature character in this film. Spielberg family endings generally end in tears and many feelings attached. The end of Interstellar was devoid of feeling and it was anything but "family." When Coop walks into the hospital room and he is surrounded by this so-called "family" but not one of them steps up to greet him, hug him, or welcome him home, that is just cold and it makes this scene anything but family.... These people showed no excitement at all, and that makes it a totally flat and poorly written scene. Even the "Murph" character was poorly written. As a child, I could understand her anger towards her dad for him leaving, but as a grown-up, and privy to why her father did what he did, and eventually finding out that her father left to save her, she remained angry, which is just really stupid and nonsensical. The Murph character should have been like: "Yeah, for years I was angry with my father, but then I learned why he left....I might never see him again, but I am proud of him for trying to save the world...." Do you know why that would have been good? Because it makes sense!!! But no, instead of acting like a reasonable "family" member, Murph continues to harbor ill feelings right to the very end. And, Cooper only regained any credibility and value to Murph when she realized that he did send the quantum data. And, her brother??? That guy was the worst! He was EVERYTHING but family oriented. He wasn't even family to his own immediate family! His wife was clearly scared of him. In fact, she was so scared of him that she let one child die and was willing to let another one die rather than face this demonic assh*le head on! That guy was just a bitter dude who even threw his own sister out of the house and told her to never come back. Yeah, all that stuff sounds like a real family to me! And, that BS line Murphy says about knowing that he would come back because he promised her....Well, if she knew so much that he was coming back, then why harbor anger towards the man that you supposedly knew was coming back for all those years, and adult years? I'm sorry, but did we actually watch the same movie? It sure doesn't sound like we did.
I’ve been waiting for this video since the post you made! Amazing!
Hope you like it!
People complained about the coldness of Nolan, then he released Interstellar and the same people complained about the love speech... Haters gonna hate, even at the face of a masterpiece...
I think the speech came out a little flat. It just stood out too overtly. Nolan likes to do a lot of exposition though, to catch up the audience and save some time/money by not having to build complicated backstories. Because the theme of love being intertwined with space-time was so integral to the theme of the movie, this is the one thing I wish he would have shown us, and not told us. This is why that speech gets some complaints.
The love/spacetime speech (and idea) is silly to the point of cringeworthiness next to just about any of the other science-based, causative events driving the narrative. It's got no basis in anything tangible - it's just fluff. Interstellar was a truly SMART, well-constructed film partially ruined by one gullible idea. I can imagine Kip Thorne himself rolling his eyes at it. I don't think it's hate, just an all-round solid complaint.
The idea of love would still be just as absolutely devastating within the narrative, even if it wasn't magically made an actual, tangible 4th-dimensional force. Love (being the relatable and elusive concept it actually is) heavily influencing the actions of the characters (something that's still in the film) ALONE, would 100% make it better, IMO.
I was in awe of the rest of the film (except perhaps the exoplanet fist-fight) - but that part just made me go, 'Really? You're ACTUALLY going with that?'
@@apreviousseagle836 This complaint has merit. I speaks more towards a "flaw" seen in Christopher Nolan's work - his scripts or dialogue sometimes are out of place and has the potential to be a lot better. His brother actually carries a lot of the script load, and in movies where his brother hasnt been involved, it turned out to be a huge mess (i.e Tenet). Nolan + an epic script writer (who has decision making ability in directing), would be a great duo.
Yes you uploaded! You are an extremely underrated UA-camr. Keep up the great work.
Thanks, will do!
Really enjoy your breakdowns and the style in which you do them! Subbed so I can keep up with the latest and greatest!
Thanks and welcome aboard!!!
INTERSTELLAR is one of my favorite films of all time. I'm so glad Nolan directed this.
The research on this channel is amazing!!!!! I love every vid.
Thank you! Happy to have you aboard
Dude. Keep these vids coming. Brilliant stuff.
Thanks, will do!
Can’t imagine never seeing Nolan’s INTERSTELLAR
Especially in theatres
Loving these videos, you're gonna be massive someday
Thank you!!!! 🤞
I'm so glad it was Nolan who ended up doing this
This script went full 2010's "we need that Chinese box office money".
LMAO
OMG, for real... I thought of 'Independence Day: Resurgence' vibes all over again...
Boy am I glad Chris got the film. One of the best films ever. It’s moving, exciting, intense, emotional,sad. BUT without the score would be different. That score is something special, especially using that live pipe organ just brings it home. Organs give you a feeling of both death, faith, and power. Such a 4k masterpiece. Imagine what score Steven woulda used which wouldn’t work. I mean all speculation but Steven’s version doesn’t sound grounded, while Chris does.
I love the way you use clips from different movies to visualize the scripts. Makes it much easier to follow and remember👍🏼
Thnx!
The Spielberg version sounds awesome!
loving these incredibly well done videos, 10/10
Thank you!!!
Interstellar is one of the best movies of all time. I’m glad Nolan made it.
interstellar is my favourite nolan film and i’m glad we got the version we did. spielberg’s version sounds like a complete different movie to me that i’m sure would’ve been just as good in the end, but i prefer nolan’s far and away
This was awesome and you have quickly become one of my new favorite channels.
Thank you!!! Happy to have you aboard
got the coffee and came running lol
Good little channel you've built here, thanks for the fun videos.
Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!
I remember reading in the Steven Spielberg IMDB page about untitled sci-fi movie based on the theories of kip thorne. Now I want an Steven movie based on the space
I’ve always wondered what Spielbergs “Sprockets” would have looked like before Mike Myers walked off the project at the last moment
I’m glad we got Nolan’s version but I do like the alternative version too! Reminds me of a late 90s early 2000s sci fi film. You know, the kind they don’t make anymore?
It’s almost like we’re 3 decades past that lmao
@@OPGrimmz it’s almost 3 decades Jeezus 💀
@@VerryJerry90 🥲🥲
one of the best things some movies do which gets me every time because im a nut for people in love that when movies have the actors race back to save their love gets me every time
As a newbie writer seeing the differences between the two endings makes me realize how powerful endings can be and how to craft a better one.
that Speilberg poster is utterly spellbinding
Now I want the "Spielberg's Interstellar" version.
Steven Spielberg and Christopher Nolan are my 2 favorite movie directors ever. They're legends! They're the best movie directors in history in my opinion!
It is hard to see anyone else make this but Nolan.
His direction is what made it so special
The movie revolves around the love of a father striving to reunite with his daughter. It's important to note that Copper embarks on his mission to enhance his family's life out of love. This aspect often gets overlooked. It's a poignant reminder that acts of love and sacrifice are vital for humanity's survival in the coming centuries.
Great video!
Thanks!
so glad we got the version we got.
Great video
Thanks!
Nolan is starting to be one of my favorite directors, as complicated as his movies seem at times I feel like Spielberg’s version would’ve been even more complex and more of a drag so really thankful Nolan took it on instead.
Still waiting on what could’ve been Nolans “The Aviator.”
Starting to be...?
His most recent films have been his worst, without question.
He should have been "starting to be one of your favorite directors" in 2005.

Thanks! Glad you enjoy it!
Yes! It's a neat concept presentend entertainingly in a reasonable amount of time!
I like the version we got much more than what we could have gotten
How do you get this information? Through interviews? Seems like a lot of inside info!
Research, interviews and the leaked script is online
The inception of interstellar... What a prestige momento, thank u
What’s the clip at the very beginning from?
Man, I really loved Interstellar, but I think I might have loved the Spielberg version better. Just based on what it would have been, the story sounds really good. Well, the world will never know.
I think I prefer the original script to the theatrical one. Strictly because the dust element and the bookcase element seems a bit too much like Nolan tried to make it his 2001 instead of its own thing entirely.
It would be crazy if a film studio decided to make a second Interstellar but this time with Spielberg as director. I wonder what impact that would have on the film industry and whether this film would be a success. I think people's sheer curiosity would make the film a huge success. The same film made twice by different directors.
Gotta love the scripts that are clearly trying to suck up to the Chinese.
I'm not sure if it was meant to be one but the joke of "the inception of interstellar" is a pretty good joke.
Oh it was haha
Both can exists. Both would be great. Interstellar is in my top 5 favorite films of all time.
A lot to like here. Much more plot and variation. This combined with the tesseract jump would be interesting.
Stanley Kubricks A.I. Artificial Intelligence is a potential video topic. The movie was originally conceived by Kubrick but directed by Spielberg after Kubricks passing.
There are elements of this that i like more than Nolan's movie, and with a more revised script i'm sure this would've been a good and interesting movie. That being said, this is one What If scenario i'm not too sad about not getting. Interstellar has its flaws and eyerolling moments, but it's still a great movie, i'm glad we have it.
I'd still like to see steven's movie. Sounds very interesting and visually impressive. It's a bigger world. Still love interstellar, best damn movie in a long time.
I thought wormholes were in the original novel _Contact_ , long before it was made into a movie. I heard it that Carl Sagan, before writing it, had asked around for a good "hard" SF device.
this sounds amazing
I think I’m glad it worked out the way it did, I also love clips of Data any time the bots are mentioned 😂😂
Haha
It is not mention here, but there is no way that any Studio would have approved a script where China is depicted has doing any vilainous stuff (even if it is robot from the future). This would not pass their censors and the Studio know this.
Beside that, the original writing is just too complicated and lack the meaningful ending that we've got in movie.
If Spielberg had done this, we would probably have seen Tom Cruise as Cooper.Jonathan Nolan's original script for Steven Spielberg is complicated.But looks much better. It turns out that Christopher Nolan added the family melodrama. However, some people claimed that this is why Chris Nolan made a Spielbergian movie with Interstellar. In the original script written for Spielberg to direct, there is no room for family melodrama, and frankly, it seems like it has more seminal, much richer themes.
Video doesn’t load. Was it taken down?
Nope. Should play just fine.
Nice video
I want to see the Spielberg version now.
I read the script a couple years before the movie came out. I love Interstellar 10/10 but there are things in the OG script I wish we could have seen.
What an interesting morph of Nolan and Spielberg.
Can you make a video about Ivan reitmans the batman.
I’ll look into it
“The Inception of Interstellar.” Ah… I see what you did there.
;)
10:30 Dang i thought he really went full sci fi mode.. i was suspected everyone's most hated sequence (book case scene) was Nolan's way of saying (f*ck it because i can)... But that steven Spielberg version needs some trimmings of script but I think is very solid based and more understandable time loop/time space than Nolan's version..
I think the film we got was better than what might have been, but was still a bit of a mess, especially the ending which still doesn't make sense. With all the realism that Nolan created, it was very jarring to see how it just turned into a bit of a fairy tale. Great music though, and some lovely set pieces. Who'd have thought a docking scene would be so exciting (in the same vein as Star Trek 3 stealing the Enterpise!) Thanks for yet another wonderful video!
My pleasure and I agree. I think it’s a solid film but something was missing from putting it over the edge into a masterpiece.
spielberg's version is too sci-fi, and i love interstellar because of how realistic it is and makes it feel not just as another sci-fi movie but as something that is real
I love Nolan's movie but I would like to see this version too
Interstellar is maybe my favorite movie, but I would still have loved to see this other angle.
you can find jonathan's script online, it's pretty crazy stuff
I remember getting my hands on that original Interstellar screenplay back in...2013? It was an interesting afternoon read but underwhelming. The film we got is an absolute improvement.
The scene where Matt Damon's character attempted to dock was one of the most intense ever.
There's a few plot elements and obviously names that need to change but that is a killer script.
Spielberg would crush that. Would do a Billy no problem.
Nolan’s was more existential and abstract
Spielbergs is more regularsci fi tropes. I don’t think anyone else could have made Interstellar besides Nolan.
Thank god Christopher Nolan directed Interstellar
also, I like your channel. Prettttty pprettttttty good.
Thanks!
I never would have imagined this, let alone think he'd return to Sci Fi after War of the Worlds.
Nolan's version pls and thank you 😂
Wow. Very interesting.
Now you HAVE to do a topiary
sounds a bit like Ridley scotts alien covenant with the super bots, with the switch that the good bot is secretly the bad bot
‘The inception of interstellar’ was that intentional?
Nolan story was simple about a father and his kids while saving humanity !
