Director Christopher Nolan has reached out to Matthew McConaughey to offer him the starring role in his next feature, a multi-layered, complicated sci-fi flick, Interstellar. In the past few years, McConaughey has attempted to reinvent himself, transitioning from a shirtless rom-com hunk into, how do I put it, an actor. With standout roles in Magic Mike, Killer Joe, and The Lincoln Lawyer, not to mention his already buzzing upcoming roles in Mud, Dallas Buyers Club and Martin Scorsese‘s The Wolf of Wall Street, it seems that McConaughey has impressed the right people. With his recent trend of making good films, it’s hard to imagine that he’d pass up an opportunity to work with such a historic and popular director.
Warner Bros. and Paramount will send Interstellar to theaters November 7, 2014 and “will depict a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding.”
