May 19, 2014 
0 Comments
The first feature trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has arrived, expanding on the ambiguous teaser from 2013, though still not giving away much from the feature’s second half (we assume). The picture stars Matthew McConaughey as an engineer recruited for an intergalactic mission through a wormhole to find a new source of food for an […]

The intricacies of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar are still being kept under wraps, but at least now we have a nice-looking poster to distract us until a proper trailer drops. The teaser, released in December of 2013, was especially inscrutable, made up of real-life footage from NASA expeditions, with a voice over from star Matthew McConaughey lamenting the […]

The teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has arrived online, sending the internet into a tizzy, despite it mostly being a teary-eyed Matthew McConaughey driving a ute. Much of the teaser is made up of real-life footage from NASA expeditions, with a voice over from McConaughey lamenting the end of humanity’s willingness to explore the cosmos. Amongst […]

Matt Damon is a late addition to the cast of Christopher Nolan’s currently-shooting sci-fi blockbuster Interstellar, Variety reports. As the film started production in early August, we assume Damon to be taking on a relatively small role. He joins an already epic cast containing Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, Topher Grace, Wes […]

Warner Bros. motion pictures group president Jeff Robinov must have guts of Steel.

Michael Shannon’s been working on his ‘fire and brimstone’ speeches for years now, and it seems he’ll have the perfect opportunity to threaten a literal apocalypse as General Zod in the upcoming Man of Steel.

Matthew McConaughey spent the last two years turning down plenty of tripe, instead opting for interesting, small-budget pics such as Bernie, Killer Joe, Magic Mike, and Mud. Much acclaim followed. It’s now paying off for him, big time. According to Deadline – and confirmed by the man himself – McConaughey will star in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming blockbuster Interstellar. The picture marks Nolan’s first […]

Christopher Nolan is in talks to direct the sci-fi flick Interstellar, penned by his brother and frequent collaborator Jonathan. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nolan will both direct and produce the picture. The feature is said to involve such plot-hole-heavy devices as “time travel and alternate dimensions.” Though we love Memento, The Dark Knight trilogy, The Prestige, and Inception, you would think Nolan […]

A proper trailer for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel has arrived online, expanding on the surprisingly Terrence Malick-esque first teaser.

With one DC saga coming to an end, Warner Bros would like to point your attention towards their next big great hope: Zack Snyder‘s gritty Superman reboot Man of Steel.

The teaser poster for Zack Snyder‘s Superman reboot Man of Steel was unsheathed at Comic-Con over the weekend. Nothing too shocking here; just star Henry Cavill looking forlorn/reflective while wearing his mesh garment, emblazoned with the signature ‘S’. Sadly, not a glimpse of the impressive quiff that took the internet by storm in the film’s first official set picture. Man […]
