Nolan’s “Interstellar” Seen Adding Hathaway

Loved by many and for some reason hated by probably more. That’s Anne Hathaway in a sentence, but fortunately (for her) none of the detractors seem to be big-time Hollywood directors. Quite on the contrary, as it appears Christopher Nolan, one of the hottest filmmakers in today’s industry, is very taken with her.

The director/writer/producer has worked with Hathaway at his latest big-budget project, the 2012 “Dark Knight Rises”, and, if we are to believe the rumors, the two’s collaboration will extend for the 2014 “Interstellar”.

That’s Nolan’s Batman follow-up, currently in pre-production and whose male leading role will be played by Matthew McConaughey. Details are very slim on the plot and we don’t know exactly what could Hathaway’s role be in it, but something tells us it’s going to be a pivotal one (and likely a little classier than Catwoman).

After all, the Brooklyn-born actress is a recent Academy Award winner, and, even if she doesn’t have a lot on her plate for the time being, she’s probably looking for more screen time in films. The only other upcoming project with Hathaway on board is a drama called “Laggies” and set to be directed by Lynn Shelton (“Your Sister’s Sister”).
