Christopher Nolan’s next movie has an official synopsis.
‘Interstellar’ chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.
Shooting has begun in Alberta, Canada, and the cast features some truly gifted talent, including Michael Caine, Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, Topher Grace, David Oyelowo, and Ellen Burstyn.
This is Nolan’s first big-screen outing without his longtime Director of Photography Wally Pfister, who’s shooting his debut movie ‘Transcendence’, which has it’s own big cast including Johnny Depp, Kate Mara, Morgan Freeman, Cillian Murphy, Rebecca Hall, and Paul Bettany, set for release earlier in 2014.
