Forget about Christopher Nolan directing "Bond 24" -- his next movie will be the time-traveling "Interstellar," which will be handled domestically by Paramount and internationally by Warner Bros. and will blast off November 7, 2014. As before, expect both IMAX sequences and exhibition.
If "Inception" was Nolan's Bond movie, then "Interstellar" will surely be his "2001: A Space Odyssey," described as "a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding."
"Interstellar" was initially developed by Steven Spielberg in 2006 as a scientifically-observed adventure about "a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension," from a treatment by physicist Kip Thorne and producer Lynda Obst. A year later, Nolan's brother, Jonathan, hopped aboard as screenwriter and introduced a "time element." Spielberg eventually dropped out and in January Christopher Nolan signed on to write and direct.
Nolan previously reported that he would transform "Interstellar" into a hybrid of the previous script and his own ideas, which you can bet will share some of the same cerebral DNA as "Inception."
"Interstellar" will be produced by Nolan, his wife and long-time collaborator, Emma Thomas, and Obst. Thorne is still attached as executive producer.
