There are very few directors out there who I'll see anything they put out. Directors like Spielberg and Scorsese fall into that category. As does Christopher Nolan. And if the reports from "The Hollywood Reporter" are true this potential project sounds like a match made in heaven.
"The Hollywood Reporter" states that Nolan is in negotiations to direct the hard science fiction film Interstellar. The script is written by Christopher's brother Jonathan, has been in circulation for seven years, and originally had Steven Spielberg attached to direct. While details are scarce (isn't that always the way with a Christopher Nolan film?) we do know that the plot "involves time travel and alternate dimensions in a story that sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole. The script is based on scientific theories developed by Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, a gravitational physicist, and an astrophysicist at Cal-Tech." So Sheldon, Leonard, and Raj from "The Big Bang Theory" essentially.
I love the idea of Nolan tackling this film. I'm a huge fan of hard science fiction writers like Asimov and Clarke, so a hard science fiction film done by Nolan sounds epic. And you know he's a stickler for being as realistic as possible so I can't wait to see what he comes up with. Negotiations are ongoing but if Nolan does sign on the film will be made by Paramount and Warner Bros.
