Chalamet and McConaughey's Town Hall Revives Interstellar Memories, Teases 'Dune: Part Three'

The live CNN and Variety event delivered new first‑person recollections from their 2014 film, spotlighting Chalamet's next project.

Overview

  • The CNN & Variety special aired Feb. 21 from the University of Texas at Austin’s Moody College before a student audience.
  • Chalamet said reuniting with Christopher Nolan made him feel “17 again” and recalled the director putting him in a playful headlock and giving him a noogie.
  • In a pre‑screening chat reported by Collider, Nolan told Chalamet he “didn’t particularly like” how one emotional Interstellar scene was originally played.
  • Chalamet revisited a set prank, recalling a “huge turd” left in his trailer on his last day, with Nolan pointing to McConaughey as the culprit and McConaughey joking it was a “souvenir.”
  • Looking ahead, Chalamet described Dune: Part Three as “the eeriest one” and “a big swing,” citing greater creative freedom on the final installment.
