Interstellar, A Movie By Cristopher Nolan, Aims To Re-Kindle Interest In Manned Space Travel

Paramount's Interstellar is scheduled for release starting November 7. According to studio sources, the film tells the story of mankind's desperate attempt to turn to the stars for its continued survival. Interstellar is directed by Christopher Nolan based on a script he co-wrote with his brother Jonathan. The Interstellar cast includes Mathew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway (as his co-pilot), Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, Casey Affleck, John Lithgow, Topher Grace, Wes Bentley, David Oyelowo, Matt Damon, David Gyasi, Elyes Gabel, and Thimothee Chalamet. The filming which began in August concluded in December of last year. It was revealed that the earth scenes were filmed in Fort Macleod, Alberta, while the alien world scenes were shot in Iceland.

The Interstellar movie plot is set at an era when most governments and economies have already collapsed, and much of the world is hungry and in ruins because of the effects of climate change. Then, a glimmer of hope was found upon discovery of a wormhole through which voyage through the space-time continuum may become possible. An elite crew was assembled, including Cooper (played by McConaughey), a widowed engineer and farmer who will have to leave his young children behind, in order to pilot the ship that will be making the interstellar voyage in its mission to look for a new and more habitable world for mankind.

To promote the upcoming Interstellar film, Nolan and McConaughey made an appearance during the July San Diego Comic-Con. There the two took to the stage to briefly talk and answer questions from the fans before the screening of their teaserInterstellar movie trailer. McConaughey described Interstellar as "by far the most ambitious film that Christopher Nolan has ever directed." And Nolan, he says, is "always out for original. Everything he has to do, it has to be original." Nolan told the audience that Interstellar was really "about human beings and what it is to be human." The trailer, as described by The Guardian, "shows an awards-friendly combination of cosmic wonder and emotional gravity." On his motivations for doing the film, Nolan said, "I grew up in a time when to be an astronaut was the highest ambition of any child. I felt that had fallen off greatly over the last couple of decades. It has been a period of great technological change - very much related to what's in your pocket and what's in your living room."
