Irwin Goes For "Interstellar"

Veteran character actor Bill Irwin ("Rachel Getting Married," "Lady in the Water") is set to star in Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" says The Wrap.


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."

Irwin's role is being kept under wraps for now.

Matthew McConaughey Jessica Chastain Michael Caine and Anne Hathaway also star.

The script was penned by Chris and his younger brother Jonathan Nolan

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

Christopher Nolan Emma Thomas and Lynda Obst will produce the pic. Jordan Goldberg is executive producing.

The pic already has a set release date of November 7, 2014
