Nolan Eyes “Interstellar” As Next Film

Christopher Nolan

Christopher Nolan, one of today’s top directors, is closing in on his first post-Batman project.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Nolan is in talks to direct and produce “Interstellar,” a sci-fi film written by the director’s brother and longtime collaborator Jonathan Nolan.

The premise, according to the Reporter:

The story involves time travel and alternate dimensions and sees a group of explorers travel through a wormhole. The script is based on scientific theories developed by Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist, gravitational physicist and astrophysicist at Caltech.

Sounds pretty deep and complex, but then “Inception” did too, and that one turned out pretty well.
