Anne Hathaway To Star In Christopher Nolan's Newest Project 'Interstellar'

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

It seems as though famed film legend Christopher Nolan enjoyed working with Anne Hathaway in The Dark Knight Rises. He’s asked the actress ,who played Selina/ Catwoman, to return in his newest project, Interstellar. Details on her role are limited, but we do know she’ll be opposite Matthew McConaughey.

As seen on Deadline.com, there’s no official log line for Interstellar  just yet. The film has something to do with wormholes and time travel, depicting “a heroic interstellar voyage to the farthest borders of our scientific understanding.” Definitely not the typical Matthew McConaughey rom-com.

Ok, so it is a little annoying she looks so good even when she’s supposed to be poor, dirty, hopeless, and terminally ill in ‘Les Mis.’

This is Hathaway’s first big commitment since her Oscar winning performance in Les Miserables. The actress is undoubtably talented, but probably laying low after receiving so much criticism during awards season. There are masses  of “Hathahaters” who simply deplore the actress for no real reason, as explained in a recent New York Times article. Critics really should give Miss Hathaway a break. She’s undeniably talented and gorgeous (even with no hair and molars when she played Fantine in Les Mis). While some accuse Hathaway of being “too perfect” or “insincere”, let’s not forget that at her core she’s a “drama geek who cannot turn off the eager, girlish persona, even away from the stage,” as described by Neal Gabler, an author of several best-selling books on Hollywood culture and history.  Hello, Annie got her start as a nerdy girl with bad hair turned pretty, pretty princess in The Princess Diaries back in 2001 (anyone else smell typecasting!?) Not every actress can be as adorable and perfectly flawed as the lovely Best Actress winner, Miss Jennifer Lawrence. While Hathaway is not everyone’s imaginary BFF, Anne is damn good at what she does and deserves a smidgen of credit for that, instead of all this mean spirited, middle school, Mean Girls-esque hating.

Regardless of how you feel about Anne Hathaway, Interstellar is one to get excited for. As a writer and/or director, Nolan has yet to commit to a bad movie. Don’t believe me? See for yourself and get even more excited.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
