Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" will be re-released for its 10th anniversary, but the sci-fi epic is flying to theaters later than planned.
Turns out the film prints weren't destroyed after all:
Studio sources dispute a rumor that 70mm prints of "Interstellar" were destroyed; Paramount claims it has archived more copies of the movie than most other pictures. However, because reels of film experience wear and tear while playing on the big screen, it’s not uncommon for them to be unusable after their theatrical runs.
Before Interstellar's public release, Paramount CEO Brad Grey hosted a private screening on October 19, 2014, at the AMC Lincoln Square 13 IMAX theater in Manhattan, New York.
