The opening sequence of the movie INTERSTELLAR with an indian drone flying alone over the fields was done using a 33% scale Predatorish miniature, 5.5 meters wingspan, weight from 10kg, powered by a Neu propulsion sytems. The group of south california soaring modelers composed of Larry Jolly, Ben Clerx, James Turner, Dennis Brandt, Dean McCoy, Chris Jolly, and Anya Ellis all pitched in, and helped get things done in time..
For information, Larry also participated to the movie Armagedon, and plenty of other nice project in Hollywood !

Interstellar is a super movie from Christopher Nolan, with a nice story (A group of explorers use a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer an interstellar endeavor.), excellent actors, superb visual effects. It lasts almost 3 hours, but the time passes very quickly. I really recommend it !

The physicist Kip Thorne has participated to scenario and validated the special effects for blackhole and wormhole.
