Christoper Nolan famously prefers practical effects over CGI (somehow, “Oppenheimer” has no CGI).
He took the approach to the next level in “Interstellar”.
Instead of digitally recreating a corn field, Nolan spent $100,000 to plant one and sold it for a profit afterwards.
Why practical effects?
Nolan digitally enhances his shots but prefers working on location and with cameras.
“It’s more fun for me and the actors,” he said of his approach during an interview with the BBC. “There’s nothing more dispiriting than showing up to a green screen. The magic is not there.”
For the “Interstellar” cornfield, the most difficult part was finding a location to plant 500 acres of the crop. The script called for farm land near a mountain (not a ton of those around).
Nolan tapped Zack Snyder for advice because the director had filmed a cornfield in “Superman”.
The final location: a plot of land outside of Calgary, Alberta.
The intention was never to grow the corn for sale, just to get some awesome shots.
But Nolan later said “we got a pretty good crop and made some money on it.”
Winnipeg's high today was -1.7 C. That means we will indeed end March without thawing. This is the first time we have failed to thaw in March since 1899 and only the second time in recorded history. #mbwx
Argentina is suffering the worst drought in the last 60 years! The damage is done. Although in some regions we are on dates to plant, the production of this year will decrease sharply. In soy, we produce about 52 million tons, the production estimated for this year is 37 millions

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson now has 24 career 100-yard receiving games after his 12-catch, 133 yards, 1 TD effort today.
That’s the most 100-yard games by any player in NFL history through his first four seasons.
Jefferson is still in his third season.
