Interstellar takes place in a dystopian version of Earth in 2067, where the planet is dying, and astronauts set out on a mission to find a new home for humanity in the universe, leading to some unique and beautiful filming locations. Christopher Nolan directed the epic science fiction film, which shot from August to December 2013 in multiple spots around the world before premiering almost a year later on November 5, 2014. The director tends to utilize more practical effects in his movies rather than special effects, so the production crew had to pick the film’s shooting locations very carefully to ensure that Nolan’s vision was achieved.
