“Interstellar” Movie: Christopher Nolan and Matthew McConaughey in First-Time Comic-Con Appearance, Shares Plot Spoilers, Teasers, Cast News, And More

Director Christopher Nolan of 'Inception,' and 'The Dark Knight' trilogy fame along with star Matthew McConaughey made their debut appearance at a Comic-Con gathering when they dropped by Friday during Paramount's presentation at Hall C. There the two took to the stage to briefly talk and answer questions about their upcoming sci-fi flick, 'Interstellar.'

Scheduled for showing in US theaters starting November 7, the film tells the story of mankind's desperate attempt to turn to the stars for its continued survival. Set at an era when most governments and economies have already collapsed, and much of the world is hungry and in ruins because of the effects of climate change, a glimmer of hope was found upon discovery of a wormhole through which voyage through the space-time continuum may become possible. An elite crew was assembled, including Cooper (McConaughey's character), a widowed engineer and farmer who will have to leave his young children behind, in order to pilot the ship that will be making the interstellar voyage in its mission to look for a new and more habitable world for mankind.

McConaughey described Interstellar as "by far the most ambitious film that Christopher Nolan has ever directed." And Nolan, he says, is "always out for original. Everything he has to do, it has to be original."

Aside from McConaughey, others in the Interstellar cast include Anne Hathaway (as his co-pilot), Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, Casey Affleck, John Lithgow, Topher Grace, Wes Bentley, David Oyelowo, Matt Damon, David Gyasi, Elyes Gabel, and Thimothee Chalamet. The earth scenes were filmed in Fort Macleod, Alberta, while the alien world scenes were shot in Iceland.
