Anne Hathaway Reteams With Christopher Nolan for ‘INTERSTELLAR’

Anne Hathaway will be reteaming with Christopher Nolan to star in his upcoming sci-fi film, Interstellar. After being attached to star in Steven Spielberg‘s Robopocalypse and Spielberg taking the project back to the drawing board, Interstellar became the perfect blockbuster picture she was looking for. Since Nolan is a very secretive filmmaker, all we know about the plot is that it’s about “a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding.” Matthew McConaughey has already signed on as “Cooper” and now Deadline reports of Hathaway’s casting, and nothing else on either role. Hathaway clearly developed a strong working relationship with Nolan on The Dark Knight Rises joining Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard, Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gary Oldman and Michael Caine for the group of actors who have worked with Nolan on more than one film. Caine has been in every Nolan film since Batman Begins, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up in the cast of ‘Interstellar’ too.

Interstellar opens in theatres and IMAX on November 7th, 2014.
