Just a little caveat before we start—don’t expect Christopher Nolan to direct Bond 24. With Interstellar on the horizon, it just can’t happen. OK, continue.
Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar keeps slowly but surely moving right along, as news broke earlier this week that Jessica Chastain would be joining Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway (who previously starred as Selina Kyle in Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises) as a member of the cast.
