“We have strong sci-fi, thriller and action(genre) patterns, and actually this pattern – once I look at that it … reminds me of ‘Interstellar,’ which we have very similar patterns with … and (also) this corresponds to a 324 per cent return on investment (ROI) on the budget.”

In reference, ‘Interstellar’ is a 2014 original epic sci-fi film directed and co-written by Hollywood mega-auteur Christopher Nolan, which ranks 8.7 out of 10 on IMDB.com and was produced on a budget of $165 million made $758.6 million.
