NEW YORK (AP) --
Director Christopher Nolan's space epic "Interstellar" will open two days early in theaters projecting the movie on film, rather than digital.
Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. announced the unusual pre-release on Wednesday. "Interstellar" will first play in 225 select North American theaters beginning Nov. 5 ahead of the film's Nov. 7 wide release.
The theaters will play "Interstellar" on either 70mm Imax film, 70mm film or 35mm film. Nolan shot the movie with a combination of 35mm film and 65mm Imax film.
The director has long been a vocal advocate for celluloid, which has been widely phased out of both movie production and projection by digital.

Émilie Dequenne, the Belgian actor who won a top Cannes Film Festival prize for her breakout role in "Rosetta," has died, a news report says. She was 43.
Her family and agent told the news agency Agence France-Presse that Dequenne died Sunday of a rare cancer in a hospital outside of Paris. In 2023, Dequenne revealed she had been diagnosed with adrenocortical carcinoma. Representatives for Dequenne did not immediately respond to inquires from The Associated Press on Monday.
Dequenne was only 18 when she was selected as best actress at Cannes in 1999. In "Rosetta," from Luc and Jean-Pierre Dardenne, she portrayed a teenager trying to escape her difficult life in a caravan park with an alcoholic mother. The film also won the Palme d'Or that year.
Born in Belœil, Belgium, in 1981, Dequenne had a performance streak from a young age. She studied drama at the Académie de Musique de Baudour.
She became well-known in France after starring alongside Catherine Deneuve in "The Girl on the Train," in 2009, based on the true story of a woman who falsely claimed she was the victim of an antisemitic attack. Dequenne also portrayed police officer Laurence Renauld on the French series "The Missing."
In 2012, she won the Un Certain Regard actress prize from Cannes for "Our Children," a dark psychological drama inspired by the real story of a Belgian woman who killed her five children. She was also nominated for several César Awards throughout her career, finally winning best supporting actress in 2021 for the romantic comedy "Love Affair(s)."
Speaking to The Guardian in 2013 about the difficult role in "Our Children," she said, "For my part I went home every weekend, and stayed with my family, which is a very safe place. Making a film... Read More
