[edit] Background

In June 2006, Paramount Pictures announced its goal to develop a space travel story with director Steven Spielberg about "a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension". The script would be based on a treatment by Caltech physicist Kip Thorne, who has studied the possibility of traversable wormholes.<ref>Fleming, Michael.

In a July 2006 interview, Spielberg stated that his growing interest in science drew him to the project. His father had been an amateur astrophysicist, which influenced Spielberg's interest in science. In the interview, the director also confirmed that Kip Thorne was providing a detailed treatment for the project produced by Lynda Obst.<ref name="spielbergfilms">Awalt, Steven.
