Nolan Plans An "Interstellar" Journey

Christopher Nolan is hoping to direct "Interstellar," a twisty new science-fiction film based on a script by his younger brother Jonathan Nolan says THR.


The film has been around since 2006, when Steven Spielberg was attached to direct--the younger Nolan came on board to write the screenplay in 2007. As late as 2010, the idea was still in play for those two to collaborate.

The premise springs from "a scientific theory by Kip S. Thorne, a Caltech physicist and expert on relativity. His theory that says wormholes exist and can be used for time travel intrigued Spielberg, who attended a Caltech workshop on the subject with Thorne and other scientists."

The film will follow a group of scientists who travel through a wormhole into another dimension.

The elder Nolan signed on for the film after months of negotiations. Since Spielberg has postponed his own sci-fi project, Robopocalypse, indefinitely it's not clear if Poppa Steve would still be incolved here in some way,

Whatever the case anything the Nolan's do I'm there
