Deadline reports that Jessica Chastain is in talks to join Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway in Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. This will be the director's first movie since he concluded The Dark Knight Trilogy last year. The Academy Award nominated actress will play the third lead in the movie which is still shrouded in secrecy. For that reason, no details are currently available about who she will play in the sci-fi film which we know will have SOMETHING to do with wormholes, time travel and "a heroic interstellar voyage to the farthest borders of our scientific understanding." Both Christopher and his brother Jonathan worked on the screenplay. Interstellar will be shot in IMAX and is set for release on November 7th, 2014.

One of the few truly original films coming out...not a sequel, adaptation, or remake...why can't there be more like it?

@Canon108, it could be because there's one Christopher Nolan, it could be because few directors have as much power over their films and projects as Nolan, it could very well be Both.

Who else is super f****ing excited for this film?

Jessica was great in Mama and Dark Zero.
She is one of the greats of her generation.
I wonder how great will Interstellar be... better than Inception, The Prestige and The Dark Kight Rises???

What do you fellow CBMers think?

She really steals the show in everything she's in. I especially like her in Zero Dark Thirty. "I'm the mother[frick]er who found this place." Badass

I really hope she's in this. Nolan knows how to choose good actors and he gets good performances out of his actors in general.

Even though I love Nolan, he is not the best director and is far from it. I still count Spielberg, Scorcese, Tarintino, Fincher, and many more directors better than him. Still excited for this film, can't wait!

So both BEST ACTRESSES of Last Year have joined Nolan's new film!
I know Jennifer Lawrence won Oscar but Chastain has been the Best Actress of the last 2 FVCKING YEARS...
(2011)... TAKE SHELTER, CORIOLANUS, THE DEBT, TREE OF LIF & THE HELP!
(2012)... LAWLESS, MAMA & ZERO DARK THIRTY!!

& in other space films casting... ZOE SALDANA joined Guardians of the Galaxy cast of Chris Pratt & DAVE BUTISTA & going to be directed by James GUNN!!!

No offense to J-LAW but Jessica Chastain is the most talented actress in Hollywood. Lawrence has the youth on her side which gains her popularity. Chastain is the better actress. Her resume is pristine. Plus......she's a GORGEOUS redhead. You don't see too many of those in Hollywood( Amy Adams is the only other one I can think of). That smile...woah. "Million to one shot Doc...million to one". She's phenomenal and seems like she's a very nice and cool person in real life.

Bring him in as well NOLAN, Bring Cumberbatch!
