First Real Look At Christopher Nolan's Wormhole Adventure Film INTERSTELLAR With New Trailer!

The first real trailer for Christopher Nolan's original sci-fi epic Interstellar has made it's way online. It's more than I was expecting, showing a lot of the problems facing Earth. Before the eventual mission to find something to save the planet's popular, teasing the wormhole aspect ever so slightly. I have to admit I was getting a few 2001 moments from the shuttle scenes. It will be release in November, and I'm shocked the studio didn't try to find a place for it in their summer lineup.

Matt Damon Joins Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR And Irrfan Khan Turns Down Large Role

ThePlaylist reveals that actor Matt Damon will have an unknown cameo in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. It's just another stunning addition to the cast which includes Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, John Lithgow, Topher Grace and Michael Caine.

The site also picked up on Indian actor Irrfan Khan (Slumdog Millionaire, Life of Pi, Amazing Spider-Man ) telling TheTimesOfIndia he was in talks for a major role in the film but had to decline because of other projects. Khan was absolutely magical in Life of Pi, so it's a shame we won't be seeing him in the film. Fingers crossed he'll end up in future Nolan films.

"I was in talks with them for an important role. It had a great compact cast, but I can't divulge much about that. They expected a huge commitment from my end. I had to stay in the U.S. for four months at a stretch. I tried to work out my schedule and suggested if I could shuttle between India and the U.S. as it wouldn't have been possible for me to be there for that long," he told The Times Of India. "I wanted to be here for 'The Lunchbox' and 'D-Day.' They couldn't allow that. I don't have a tendency to regret what I do, but knowing it's a Christopher Nolan film, I can say that this has been one of the most difficult decisions I've made."

Casey Affleck Boards Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR

NolanFans reports that Casey Affleck (Ain't Them Body Saints, Out of The Furnace, Jesse James, Gone Baby Gone) revealed to Elle that he has joined the talented cast of Christopher Nolan's sci-fi epic Interstellar. The rest of the cast includes Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Bill Irwin and Michael Caine.

Anne Hathaway Re-Teams With Christopher Nolan For Sci-Fi Thriller INTERSTELLAR Starring Matthew McConaughy

Deadline reports that Oscar winning actress Anne Hathaway is in talks to take the female lead in Christopher Nolan' Interstellar. Matthew McConaughy was recently confirmed for the lead role of Cooper and Michael Caine is expected to have a part in the sci-fi film as well. Anne previously worked with Nolan on The Dark Knight Rises which gave audiences the best performance in the entire film. She was originally set to play the female lead in Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse but the delays will likely allow her to make this project instead. Funny considering that Interstellar was once a Spielberg project.

Anne Hathaway Confirmed For Steven Spielberg's ROBOPOCALYPSE

Empire has word from Anne Hathaway (Dark Knight Rises) that if the film moves forward she'll have a role in Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse. The film was written by Drew Goddard (Cabin In The Woods, Cloverfield) and is based on the novel by Daniel H. Wilson. Chris Hemsworth (Avengers) has already been cast in the male lead with Ben Whishaw (Skyfall) in talks for another role.

"If 'Robopocalypse' happens I will be in it and I believe it’s quite real, though you never want to hang your hat on anything."

Ben Whishaw Wanted For ROBOPOCALYPSE

Variety reports yet another possible addition to the cast of Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse. As British actor Ben Whishaw is wanted for the role of hacker Lurker. Whishaw is best known for his roles in Perfume and Layer Cake. He'll be seen next in Cloud Atlas and as the new Q in Skyfall. The sci-fi action film already has Chris Hemsworth (Thor, Avengers) in place for the lead and Anne Hathaway (Dark Knight Rises) is being courted for the female role.

Anne Hathaway Could Join Chris Hemsworth In ROBOPOCALYPSE

THR reports that Anne Hathaway (Dark Knight Rises) is now currently in talks to take the female lead in Steven Spielberg's Robopcalypse. The sci-fi actioner already has Chris Hemsworth (Avengers, Thor) cast in the main role.

Anne Hathaway Briefly Talks 'CATWOMAN' Spin-Off

While I might one of the few people who have yet to see The Dark Knight Rises it sounds like Anne Hathaway's performance as Catwoman was a rather large standout. DigitalSpy asked Anne about the possiblity of a spin-off which doesn't seem that unlikely now that Christopher Nolan is now exiting the franchise. Nolan has somewhat left the door open to act as a producer on future Batman projects (similar to Man of Steel) which could lead to a Catwoman movie.

"If [Nolan] is interested then I'm very interested. I think it would be lovely to see more of her but only if it's with the right people," Hathaway said. "She lives in this Gotham City and so it would have to be established by the people who have made this Gotham City. For me, at least."

Which Actress Could Land The Lead In 'BLADE RUNNER 2' ?

Ridley Scott has confirmed that Blade Runner 2 is a sequel and it's lead will be female. The question now is who will end up taking that role? Noomi Rapace and even possibly Charlize Theron could be returning for a Prometheus sequel which will end up shooting before this film. It's likely that neither Noomi or Charlize will end up landing the lead, theres nothing to say they won't get supporting or villainous roles. A bunch of actresses tested for Prometheus but didn't land the role. I get the impression these ladies could end up in the running for female lead in Blade Runner 2.

NATALIE PORTMAN: The Oscar winning actress (Black Swan) was one the more high profiled actresses originally in the mix for the lead in Prometheus. Recently she was attached to science fiction films Jupiter Ascending (from The Wachowskis) and tested for Alfonso Cuarón's (Children of Men) Gravity. She's had commercial successes with the Star Wars prequel and now with the Thor franchise. Let's not forget her equally interesting genre credits in films like V For Vendetta, The Professional and Heat.

GEMMA ARTERTON: The British actress also caught the attention of Ridley during the casting process for Prometheus. The director was impressed with her performance in the thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed which led to a meeting and testing for the film. Arterton ultimately didn't get the role but is obviously on Ridley's radar now. Most of her supporting roles in films like Clash of The Titans, Quantum of Solace and Prince of Persia didn't seem to help her career. As those films were considered terrible or average at best. Yet, upcoming films like the vampire thriller Byzantium and the fairytale action/comedy Hansel And Gretel: Vampire Hunters should give her the boost she would need to complete for a role like this.

ANNE HATHAWAY: You might not consider this actress as someone who can handle action scenes but after The Dark Knight Rises that opinion will change. Anne has proven so far that she's a dedicated actor and can deliver strong performances which earned her an Oscar nomination (Rachel Getting Married) previously. She was also in the running for Prometheus but luckily ended up with the role of Selina Kyle/Catwoman instead. Depending on how her Catwoman role goes over with audiences expect her to be in the running for more action oriented projects.

CAREY MULLIGAN: Like Hathaway, Carey is a dedicated actress who has also earned her own Oscar nomination for An Education. She recently developed more of a cult following thanks in part to roles in last year's Drive and Shame. Her next film The Great Gatsby could end up a rather large Oscar contender if it's decent at all. Mulligan's lesser recognized role in the science fiction romantic drama Never Let Me Go had similar themes to Blade Runner. As the "borrowed time" and "manufactured people" aspects are shared in both films. While I can't see her as a hard boiled Blade Runner, an innocent replicant on the run seems like a more excellent casting idea.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY: Knightley who co-starred with Mulligan in Never Let Me Go was rumored to be involved with the casting for Prometheus too. The actress has kept quiet mostly with her recent projects London Boulevard and the comedy Seeking A Friend For The End of The World. Compared to her previous work with blockbuster projects like Pirates of The Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl, Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Pirates of The Caribbean: World's End and King Arthur. In the couple of years she did test for Captain America and The Dark Knight Rises which means she's looking for the right big film to do. Meanwhile Keira takes on roles that help her stock as an actress with projects like Atonement, A Dangerous Method, The Duchess, Edge of Love and the upcoming Joe Wright film Anna Kendrick. The latter could end up earning her second Oscar nomination after Pride And Prejudice.

OLIVIA WILDE: Wilde has to be one of the most promising actresses working today. She's been mostly in small supporting roles for films like Tron Legacy and Cowboys And Aliens. Given the right part she could explode as she's gorgeous on screen with an energy/fast-paced delivery that could be perfect for this sci-fi noir action thriller. Olivia was also in the running for the lead in Prometheus.

WHO ALSO SHOULD BE CONSIDERED?

SCARLETT JOHANSSON: Her role in Avengers will likely boost her box office appeal to both domestic and international audiences. A fear that plagued the casting of Noomi Rapace in Prometheus because she wasn't a known actress at the time. Scarlett's also been jumping onto a lot of more dramatic roles with projects Hitchcock and Don Juan. Of course the young actress has the action backgrounded needed for the part as well with a massive amount of time dedicated for fight/stunt training for both Iron Man 2 and The Avengers. Johansson's upcoming film Under The Skin is an science fiction thriller which she plays an alien picking off humans. She was also in the running for Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity before Sandra Bullock was locked in. I personally think she could be rather convincing heroine in a science fiction film like this. You might also believe that she could kick your ass if need be, unlike most actresses who look like they could barely lift a weight.

Amanda Seyfried Offered Cosette Role In Les Miserables

Twitch reports that Amanda Seyfried has been offered the role of Cosette in Tom Hooper's (King's Speech) Les Miserables. The high profiled musical already boasts an impressive cast that includes Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Sacha Baron Cohen. Seyfried seems like a decent choice as she was apart of the successful Mama Mia! film. A majority of the casting decisions seem like Hooper is on roll so far. 

Taylor Swift has been offered the role of Eponine. Scarlett Johansson had been linked for the role and seemed an inspired casting choice since she can sing as well as she can act. While Swift is still learning the craft of acting and could feel out of place alongside these vets and heavyweights. Either way I'm interested in the film which is saying a lot as I'm not a big fan of musicals. Les Miserables will be released on December 7th of this year.

Scarlett Johansson Could Join Les Miserables

NewYorkPost is reporting that a few actresses are now testing for roles (Cossette and Eponine) in Tom Hoopers' (King's Speech) Les Miserables. The actresses include Taylor Swift, Lea Michele, Scarlett Johansson and Evan Rachel Wood. The first two seem like names to keep the studio happy but won't ultimately get the parts.

The cast already features Hugh Jackman is Jean Valjean, Russell Crowe is Inspector Javert, Anne Hathaway is playing Fantine (Cossette's desperately poor mother) and Eddie Redmayne is Marius (Cossette's love and French revoutionary). Geoffrey Rush who played Javert in the 90's film is rumored for the role of Monsieur Thenardier.

I haven't been too interested in the project up to this point but I feel if they do end up getting Scarlett in there I might have to check it out. That being said if it's an awards bait musical they should be getting actors who can sing, not singers who could act.
