This Interstellar article was an interesting read on L♾PPER.

"We found that warping space around the black hole also warps the accretion disk," visual effects supervisor Paul Franklin told Wired. "So rather than looking like Saturn's rings around a black sphere, the light creates this extraordinary halo." As for Thorne, the scientist summed his feelings up by saying, "Whoa, that's what it would do."

The discovery actually led to some real scientific papers being published on the subject of gravitational lensing in the context of supermassive black holes. In other words, Christopher Nolan's space movie had a real-world impact."
