Did Christopher Nolan plant corn for interstellar? Yes. And then he sold it to fund the film, but it was a HUGE gamble. On Cooper’s farm — the place where the cornfield chase of interstellar was shot — they did it with mountains in Alberta where corn doesn’t grow. Nolan planted 500 acres of corn, a huge gamble for their budget, and wondered if they’d be able to sell it later to recoup any expenses.

Watch:

So next time someone shows you the cornfield scene and asks, “Is that real? Did Christopher Nolan plant corn?” You can say, “Yes. And funded the film from its sale. Or at least didn’t go bankrupt.”

Yup. Sounds like farming.
