Christopher Nolan New Movie Interstellar
Not content with basking in the box office and critical glory of The Dark Knight saga, Director Christopher Nolan has apparently found his next film, a cerebral science fiction effort called Interstellar.
Based on a script from Nolan’s director Jonathan, Interstellar is said to feature a mind-bending array of alternate realities, worm holes and time travel. Apparently the new Nolan brothers’ project has been inspired by the actual scientific theories of noted physicist Kip Thorne.
Steven Spielberg had previously long been attached to the project, but now seems to have abandoned the project in favour of Jurassic Park 4 and his recent efforts to adapt Robopocalypse. Christopher Nolan is now in talks to produce and direct the project, returning to the kind of intelligent sci-fi territory he explored so well in Inception.
Godzilla Casting News
Legendary Pictures is reportedly set to offer Kick-Ass and Anna Karenina star Aaron Johnson the lead human role in their forthcoming big budget Godzilla reboot. The studio has apparently already had an approach for in-demand star Joseph Gordon-Levitt rejected.
Johnson appears to also be cautious about joining the long delayed giant monster movie. The Kick-Ass star is reportedly only set to make his final decision about taking the role once he’s seen the latest re-draft of the script.
As previously reported, the studio has turned to much respected Shawshank Redemption writer/director Frank Darabont to fine tune a script produced by several writers over the past few years. Monsters director Gareth Edwards remains in place to direct when the script is finished and a suitable cast is assembled, ahead of a planned release date in 2014.
Oscars 2013 Full Nominations List
Emma Stone and Seth MacFarlane announced the nominations for the 85th Annual Academy Awards ahead of the Hollywood ceremony on 24th February and you can check out the full official list of this year’s Oscar nominees below.
Spielberg’s historical biopic Lincoln as expected leads the way with 12 nominations, followed closely by Ang Lee’s adaptation of international bestseller Life of Pi with 11 nominations.
Argo‘s Ben Affleck, Zero Dark Thirty‘s Kathryn Bigelow, and Les Miserables‘ Tom Hooper all missed out on nominations in the best director category. However perhaps the most surprising story from this year’s nominations list was the prominent success of Silver Linings Playbook, which picked up nominations in all acting categories as well as nods for best director, screenplay, editing and film.
Michale Hanake’s Amour, Django Unchained, The Master and Beasts of The Southern Wild also picked up multiple nominations, leaving many categories hotly contested in a competitive year.

Y The Last Man Finds Director
New Line has finally found a director to take charge of their long delayed comic book adaptation of Y: The Last Man. The project has been stuck in development for over a decade but now has Dan Trachtenberg taking charge behind the camera.
Y: The Last Man is a dark science fiction series set in a dystopian future where a mysterious plague has killed every man on earth apart from an amateur escape artist called Yorick Brown and his pet monkey.
DJ Caruso the director of Eagle Eye and Disturbia had previously been attached, with Shia LaBeouf set to star, but following the change of director there’s currently no actors attached to the project. Whether or not the film ever becomes a reality remains to be seen.
