Christopher Nolan Calls Out Timothée Chalamet for 'Interstellar' Scene: 'It Felt Too Much'

Christopher Nolan and Timothée Chalamet are talking Interstellar!

The director and the actor reunited Tuesday (February 10) for a screening of the film in Imax 70mm at the AMC Universal Citywalk in Los Angeles.

“Though my role is not enormous in Interstellar, I think I was number 12 on the call sheet, this film came to me at a time in life, in my career, where things were certainly not set yet. And it’s remained my favorite project I’ve ever been in. It’s the film I’ve seen the most of, of all the films ever made in human history,” Timothée told the crowd.

At one point, the two discussed the scene where Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) watches years of messages from his kids as they grow up, including Timothée‘s character.

“When you were filming the messages from home, there was a particular thing that you were doing where you were hitting quite a dark tone in relation to Murph and had Murph crash the car,” Christopher recalled.

“And it felt too much. I didn’t particularly like it. I told you about it and you just went ahead and did whatever the f–k you wanted and carried on,” he went on to say.

“But I was like, ‘Okay, he knows what he wants to do and has an idea.’”

“I didn’t remember that. That’s amazing. I thought you didn’t even know my name man,” Timothée laughed.

“I might not have known your name, but I knew what you were doing…it wasn’t about being stubborn. It was about, you had planned what you wanted to do. You planned your choices and you didn’t want to abandon that on a casual whim for me. You wanted to test that and challenge that and see if I kept coming back, which I didn’t. I’ll find a logic to that in the edit suite.” (Watch the full interview here.)
