Christopher Nolan's INTERSTELLAR Adds David Oyelowo And David Gyasi
In celebration of Chris Nolan's birthday today, we have two more additions to the cast of his next movie, Interstellar. Red Tails duo David Oyelowo and David Gyasi (the latter reteaming with Nolan after The Dark Knight Rises) have signed on for the sci-fi film.
Today is the 43rd birthday of The Dark Knight Trilogy writer-director Christopher Nolan, and to celebrate, we have two more additions to the cast of his next film, the highly anticipated sci-fi film Interstellar. According to The Wrap, Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes' David Oyelowo and Cloud Atlas' David Gyasi (who previously worked together on Red Tails) have joined the Paramount/Warner Bros. co-production, which begins filming soon. As expected, character details are unknown. Gyasi previously played a prisoner in Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, and Oyelowo will next be seen in The Butler, which hits theaters August 16th. Interstellar boasts a very impressive ensemble cast consisting of Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, John Lithgow, Wes Bentley, Topher Grace and more.
With a script written by Jonathan Nolan (and later rewritten by Chris to merge his own original idea), Interstellar follows a heroic group of explorers who travel through a wormhole and into another dimension. The ideas are based on the work of physicist Kip Thorne, who's also an executive producer. The movie is slated for a November 7th, 2014 theatrical release and will be shot in IMAX.
