A dream within a wormhole within time travel within a dream within a wormholm within….
Blockbuster mastermind Christopher Nolan has wowed audiences over the last decade with his innovative original features Inception, The Prestige and Memento but is more closely associated with much loved Dark Knight trilogy. Nolan managed to turn a faltering franchise, whose last film iteration featured George Clooney‘s nipples, into a grounded and complex saga that reignited the spark of superhero potential. Now that Nolan has wrapped up his take on the Dark Knight, he is free to set his sights on more original fare in line with Inception and his next feature film, Interstellar, seems like it will be just as grand and macroscopic as that film.
Under the collective banners of Warner Bros. and Paramount, Interstellar will be hitting theaters on November 7, 2014 and will be sure to make a mighty box office blow. According to the studio:
“The film will depict a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding.”
Nolan, and the title of the film alone, has made it clear that this filmic journey will take place in the galactic realm and will involve worm holes and likely alternate realities. Although no cast has yet been assembled, I’m going to go ahead and assume that he’ll at least be pulling a fair share for his regular corral of actors. I’d be willing to bet that at least two of the following are cast: Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Cillian Murphy, Ken Watanbe.
I personally am glad to hear that Nolan is still willing to challenge himself and his audiences and I’ll be sure to be waiting in line for this one. As for whether we’ll see him returning to superhero fare as a exec. producer for Justice League, we’ll have to wait and see.
