Matthew McConaughey has discussed his role in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar, Digital Spy said.
During an interview with MTV, McConaughey described the director's secrecy-shrouded upcoming sci-fi as "story-driven".
"He knows what he wants," McConaughey enthused of Nolan. "He knows everything about what's happening on a film set, and what everybody's doing."
Interstellar, which will be Nolan's first film since his Batman trilogy concluded with The Dark Knight Rises, stars McConaughey alongside Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, Michael Caine and Casey Affleck.
Nolan revised his brother Jonathan Nolan's screenplay, which follows "a heroic interstellar voyage to the farthest borders of our scientific understanding".
Interstellar will be released on November 14, 2014.
Accoridng to ScreenRant, Steven Spielberg set up Interstellar back in 2006, but ultimately decided J. Nolan’s premise wasn’t a good match for his storytelling sensibilities. The filmmaker’s new sci-fi project, Robopocalypse, is currently getting a script makeover; that’s also the case with the Nolan brothers’ next collaboration, now what Chris is revamping the original screenplay draft.
Deadline claims that C. Nolan is merging “an original idea of his” into his sibling’s script, which charts a daring space odyssey “to the farthest borders of our scientific understanding.” That appears to be the pair’s writing modus operandi, starting with Chris basing Memento on Jonathan’s story “Memento Mori.” Similarly, J. Nolan oversaw adapting Christopher Priest’s novel The Prestige – before Chris took the reins – and his Tale of Two Cities-inspired Dark Knight Rises draft was actually streamlined into the final film.
