Movie Muser

The marketing for Interstellar has certainly kicked up a gear in the last few weeks with new posters and trailers, and now Empire has debuted a sextet of new pics both from the film itself and from the set.

We particularly like how in the image above it appears they’re going into space in a giant dustbuster, although I presume that’s because it needs some CGI to finish it off.

The pics include the likes of Anne Hathaway, Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain, along with direct Christopher Nolan.

They also have a quote from McConaughey about the movie, who says, “This is the grandest adventure I think any of us will ever see on film. This is the biggest film I’ve ever been a part of. This is one of the biggest films anyone’s ever been a part of.”

That’s certainly intriguing.

What we still don’t know if a vast amount about the plot, other than that ‘Interstellar chronicles the adventures of a group of explorers who make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage.’

It’s due out in November. Take a look at the new pics above and below.

Phil Lord and Chris Miller are rare for having huge success in both the live-action and animation arenas. It’s allowed them to have an incredible year where The Lego Movie grossed $468 million worldwide, while 22 Jump Street made $324 million.

Now they’re plotting future moves, with Deadline reporting that they’re circling The Rosie Project.

Based on Graeme Simison’s novel, the movie is about genetics professor Don Tillman, who may have Asberger’s Disease. Unfortunately for him, he’s never had a second date, so he sets off on what he calls The Wife Project, which involves a questionnaire to find a non-smoking, non-drinking female who will fit with his lifestyle.

Unsurprisingly his attempt to find such a perfectly compliant woman goes wrong when he meets a woman named Rosie, who fits none of his criteria but may be the right match for him.

Miller and Lord recently met with the film’s screenwriters, Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. They’re apparently very interested but won’t fully commit until a completed script is ready.

Miramax is pulling together a cast of hot young actors for The 9th Life of Louis Drax. Jamie Dornan was cast a couple of weeks ago, and now he’s been joined by Aaron Paul, according to THR.

The is based on Liz Jensen’s best-selling novel of the same title which begins on Louis Drax’s 9th birthday, when he suffers a near-fatal fall. In order to reveal the strange circumstances surrounding the young boy’s accident – Dr. Allan Pascal (Jamie Dornan) is ‘drawn into a thrilling mystery, testing the boundaries of fantasy and reality.’

Paul will play the father of the young boy, who becomes the initial subject of the investigation into the accident.

Alexandre Aja is directing from a screenplay by Max Minghella (who took on the project following the death of his father, English Patient director Anthony Minghella, who’d previously been developing the movie).

Filming will kick off next month in Canada.

Bryan Mills is coming back with Taken 3, officially known as Tak3n, and now the first pictures from the movie has arrived, which suggests he’s not going to have calmed down and spend the entire running time knitting.

USA Today has the pics – which feature Neeson, Maggie Grace and Taken newbie Forest Whitaker – and also offers some of our first info on the plot.

This time around Mills is framed for murder, with Neeson saying, “I have to go on the run, I’ll put it that way, from the not-so-lawful types and the lawful authorities. Bryan Mills served his country faithfully, but now even they are after him. They must not like me. This time, no more traveling. If my daughter was ‘taken’ again on a trip, Bryan Mills would have to be certifiably locked up for bad parenting.”

He adds, “Bryan Mills wants to fight quick, using the dirtiest moves possible to finish. It’s not like, ‘Put your fists up, fellow!’ Why fight like that when you can kick someone in the kneecap and be done with it?”

Its’ the first Taken film for Forest Whitaker, who plays a law enforcement agent in pursuit of Mills. he comments,”People are attracted to quiet heroes. Liam’s presence has that. He gives people a sense of comfort and security. And he’s an excellent actor… There’s no big fight between us, which I would have loved. That will have to wait until Taken 4.”

We’re unlikely to get that further sequel though, with Neeson saying, “It’s a rollicking good story. But I think this is the end. If I feel audiences saying, ‘Come on, he’s 62, enough is enough,’ I’m very sensitive to that and if I pick up that vibe it will all stop. And I’ll start playing dads or grandfathers,. But I keep myself pretty fit and my knees are still great. And it’s fun.”
