Interstellar (Blu-ray Review)

By Leave a Comment

The world is on the brink of disaster as extreme climate change has left much of the planet a dust bowl, with civilisation pretty much collapsed and many convinced that humanity only has a short time left to live. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is scratching out a living on a farm, but discovers that not far away is a facility that’s hopes to find a future for mankind.

A wormhole has been discovered near Saturn, which leads to another galaxy where there may be habitable worlds. Years before scientists were sent to each of those planets, and now it’s time to send another ship to discover what happened to them and whether one of the worlds could be humanity’s new home. With his ace piloting skills Cooper is selected to go on the mission – much to the anger of his young daughter Murph – alongside scientist Brand (Anne Hathaway) and two other crew members.

Fresh Interstellar Trailer – Best look yet at Matthew McConaughey in Christopher Nolan’s latest

By Leave a Comment

interstellar-poster2-slideWith each new piece of marketing for Interstellar the scale of the movie seems to get bigger and bigger, which perhaps isn’t that surprising considering it’s from Christopher Nolan and has been described by Matthew McConaughey as one of the biggest movie he or anyone else has ever worked on.

Now a great new trailer has arrived, which gives us our best look yet at the movie, which does seem to be pretty cool.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘With our time on Earth coming to an end, a team of explorers undertakes the most important mission in human history: traveling beyond this galaxy to discover whether mankind has a future among the stars.’

McConaughey stars alongside Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway and Michael Caine. It’s in UK cinemas on November 7th. [Read more…]

Matthew McConaughey, Chris Nolan & Co. Get New Interstellar Pics

By Leave a Comment

interstellar-empire-pic1The marketing for Interstellar has certainly kicked up a gear in the last few weeks with new posters and trailers, and now Empire has debuted a sextet of new pics both from the film itself and from the set.

We particularly like how in the image above it appears they’re going into space in a giant dustbuster, although I presume that’s because it needs some CGI to finish it off.

The pics include the likes of Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain, along with direct Christopher Nolan.

They also have a quote from McConaughey about the movie, who says, “This is the grandest adventure I think any of us will ever see on film. This is the biggest film I’ve ever been a part of. This is one of the biggest films anyone’s ever been a part of.”

That’s certainly intriguing.

What we still don’t know if a vast amount about the plot, other than that ‘Interstellar chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.’

It’s due out in November. Take a look at the new pics above and below. [Read more…]

Matthew McConaughey Gets Wet In Another New Interstellar Poster

By Leave a Comment

Interstellar-IMAX-posterA couple of days ago a new poster for Interstellar debuted, and now another one has arrived promoting the IMAX release of Christopher Nolan’s film.

As with The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan has once again captured key sequences of Interstellar using IMAX cameras, helping to ensure these moments look particularly impressive in the massive screen format.

The film chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage. As the poster shows, that involved going to a planet that’s completely covered in water.

The movie’s due out in November.

Matthew McConaughey Goes Interstellar In A New Poster For Christopher Nolan’s New Movie

By Leave a Comment

interstellar-poster2The marketing for Interstellar seems to be based on the idea that every new titbit takes us further and further away from earth. The first teaser and poster were pretty much earth-bound, the last trailer took us through take-off and into space, and now a new poster shows us Matthew McConaughey in full spaceman mode on another planet (well, presumably he’s meant to be on another planet and didn’t just decide to wear a spacesuit up a mountain).

Here’s the official synopsis: ‘Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), the production will travel the globe and utilize a mixture of 35mm anamorphic and IMAX film photography to bring to the screen a script based on the combination of an original idea by Nolan and an existing script by Jonathan Nolan, originally developed for Paramount Pictures and producer Lynda Obst. The new script chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.’

As it’s a Nolan movie, that synopsis doesn’t tell us much, but other info released has let us know that it’s set on a world that’s dying and running out of natural resources, with the wormhole offering humanity renewed hope. Explorers are sent through the hole to see whether they can find some new solutions.

Along with McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ellen Burstyn, Casey Affleck, Bill Irwin, David Gyasi, David Oyelowo, Wes Bentley, Michael Caine, and John Lithgow star. It’s due out in November.

New Interstellar Trailer – Take a look at what Comic Con audiences saw of Christopher Nolan’s film

By Leave a Comment

interstellar-poster-slideThere’s a lot of anticipation for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, and while we had a trailer a few months ago, it only offered hints at what to expect, as while the movie is about a journey into space, the footage was largely earthbound.

However now a new trailer has emerged, which debuted last week as Comic Con and is now online. It gives us a much better look at both the problems on earth and what happens when it leaves orbit.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), the production will travel the globe and utilize a mixture of 35mm anamorphic and IMAX film photography to bring to the screen a script based on the combination of an original idea by Nolan and an existing script by Jonathan Nolan, originally developed for Paramount Pictures and producer Lynda Obst. The new script chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

‘“Interstellar” features a prestigious cast that includes Matthew McCaughey (“Magic Mike,” “Mud”), Academy Award® winner Anne Hathaway (“Les Miserables,” “The Dark Knight Rises”), Academy Award® nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “The Tree of Life”), Bill Irwin (“Rachel Getting Married,” TV’s “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”), Academy Award® nominee John Lithgow (“Terms of Endearment,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Academy Award® nominee Casey Affleck (“The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” “Gone Baby Gone”), David Gyasi (“Cloud Atlas”), Wes Bentley (“The Hunger Games”), Mackenzie Foy (“The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Parts 1 and 2”), Timothée Chalamet (TV’s “Homeland”), Topher Grace (“Spider-Man 3”), David Oyelowo (“Jack Reacher,” “Rise of the Planet of the Apes”), Academy Award® winner Ellen Burstyn (“The Last Picture Show,” “The Exorcist”), and Academy Award® winner Michael Caine (“The Cider House Rules,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy).’

Interstellar Trailer – Matthew McConaughey is heading into space for Christopher Nolan

By Leave a Comment


So far the promotion of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has been pretty low key, as while the loose plot details we’ve had have suggested a big space adventure, the marketing has been pretty earthbound.

That’s true of the beginning of this trailer – but things aren’t going very well for the planet. So it’s time to send Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway into space!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Directed and co-written by Christopher Nolan (“Inception,” “The Dark Knight” Trilogy), the production will travel the globe and utilize a mixture of 35mm anamorphic and IMAX film photography to bring to the screen a script based on the combination of an original idea by Nolan and an existing script by Jonathan Nolan, originally developed for Paramount Pictures and producer Lynda Obst.

First Poster For Christopher Nolan’s Insterstellar Gets Released

By Leave a Comment

interstellar-teaser-poster1A few months ago we got a brief, enigmatic teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. However this being Nolan, he’s been keeping his cards pretty close to his chest. But now comes the first poster.

Here’s the film’s synopsis: ‘INTERSTELLAR chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.’

Add that to the poster’s tagline – Mankind was born on Earth. It was never meant to die here – and it’s all pretty intriguing.

Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael Caine all star.

A new full trailer (which reports say is still pretty enigmatic) is expected to be released next week.

It’s just under a year until we can expect the next film from Christopher Nolan – Interstellar. Now Warner Bros. Pictures and Paramount Pictures have launched the official website for the film at Interstellarmovie.com, and along with that comes a first look at the logo. That’s ahead of a teaser trailer that’s expected to play alongside The Hobbit 2.

This being Nolan, everything’s still wrapped in secrecy, although the shoot has travelled the globe and as with his Batman film it has used a mix of 35mm and IMAX film photography. It’s based on a script by Jonathan Nolan, which Chris then rewrote. All that’s known is that it’s about a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.

The film’s due out November 7th, 2014 and stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Bill Irwin, Casey Affleck, Mackenzie Foy and John Lithgow.
