Plot: The adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.A long time in development, and for about the same length of time, looking to be one of Steven Spielberg's next flicks, Jonathan Nolan's ambitious original SF screenplay involves a group of space travelers who travel through a wormhole, setting off a complex story of time-travel. It now appears that Spielberg himself has backed out of directing, and that it will in fact be Christopher Nolan's next helming-effort, and his official follow-up to The Dark Knight Rises: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/christopher-nolan-talks-direct-interstellar-410616 Obviously, this is right up the director's alley for a variety of reasons, but it will also mark Nolan's first foray into space, in terms of story-setting. Had a feeling Spielberg ultimately wouldn't do this; it felt like it was "the next thing" (after even Robopocalypse) for a bit too long, and I suspect his finally moving on Lincoln took the wind out of its sails once and for all. Still, if you need a replacement, you can't go past Nolan. The premise sounds like it fits Nolan a lot more than Spielberg, so this may ultimately be for the best. (Also, I'm sure Wally Pfister will prove to be a very competent director, but he HAS to get his ass back in the DP-chair for this one.)
