Interstellar Live

Royal Albert Hall London 30th March

On March 30th 2015, Orchid Media and Metropolis Music stage the biggest presentation of a Christopher Nolan movie ever created: Interstellar Live.

At the iconic Royal Albert Hall, Interstellar will be screened in full accompanied live by a 60-piece orchestra performing Hans Zimmer's original Oscar-nominated score. Described by Zimmer as his ‘most personal score’, this epic music is one of the most important film scores of recent years; at once exhilarating, spectacular, pulsating and deeply moving.

Prior to the screening, Interstellar executive producer and one of the world’s leading theoretical physicists, Kip Thorne, will make a rare appearance in the UK to talk about the science behind INTERSTELLAR, in conversation with director Christopher Nolan and composer Hans Zimmer, who will also give insights into the creation of the film. This is a unique opportunity to hear from a true science legend about bringing black holes, wormholes and time warps to the big screen.

I'd like to check this out. Since I haven't seen the movie yet, I can't think of a more effective entertainment buzz than this.

Thanks for posting.

Edit: The RAH site doesn't say what method of projection is being utilised - only that the "big screen" is being used.

I did go, but felt I had to leave just after the end credits started to roll in order to be sure not to miss the last train home. It's great the JW fan website has posted the retrospective.

The big surprise of the evening was professor Hawking's appearance. I never thought I'd see him in person. Also, professor Brain Cox led the pre-screening discussion. Sir Michael Caine's recounting of his initial impression of being in a Batman film was understandably amusing. When Mr Zimmer made his way to the keyboards to join the musicians rather than conduct, I had to take my hat off to him.

By the way, the docking scene atmosphere can't be resolved by seeing a copy on a 2D screen. The rising intensity and crescendo does affect your emotional state. The technical shoe-horning of the music into the film was done seamlessly. I had expected to notice a fluff of the lines - if it happened it went by completely unnoticed. The only problem was the sound from the film itself. I'd say about 75% of the dialog was incoherent. I think it may have had something to do with the Hall's acoustics. Being in the circle, I was off to one side, so my brain was working overtime to decipher what was being said.

I'm very glad I had the opportunity to go.
