Casey Affleck Joins INTERSTELLAR
Casey Affleck is the latest actor to join the great ensemble cast of Christopher Nolan's sci-fi film, Interstellar. He announced it himself in an interview with ELLE magazine, in which he says, "I'm going to work on a Chris Nolan movie in the fall." As of right now, the rest of the cast for the film includes Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine,and Anne Hathaway.
In my opinion Casey is a more talented actor than his big brother Ben, and it's great that he landed a role in this movie. One of the best movies he has made is The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. He should have won an Oscar for his performance in that. If you haven't watched that move you should! He has also starred in films such as Gone Baby Gone and Oceans 11, 12 and 13.
The movie is based on the scientific theories developed by Cal Tech physicist Kip Thorne, and the story follows a group of explorers who travel through a wormhole. It's also previously been described as "a heroic interstellar voyage to the furthest reaches of our scientific understanding." Here's a little bit more info on the story that was recently revealed as well...
It takes place "in a time where crops are dying, food is scarce, governments and nations have collapsed, NASA is gone and the 20th Century is to blame. A mysterious rip in Space Time opens up and it is up to the remnants of the now extinct NASA organization to explore it and offer up a chance at salvation for Earth."
Interstellar is set to be released on November 7th, 2014.
