Matthew McConaughey could be on the brink of Oscar glory, and his year is set to get even better when he takes the lead in Christopher Nolan's new film, Interstellar .
McConaughey has been discussing the new film with Variety , and sounds a little bit in awe of Nolan and the way he goes about his business…
"Here’s what I can tell you, It’s the most ambitious thing he’s ever done," says McConaughey. "And he’s done some ambitious stuff…"
"There’s no fucking around on set," he continues. "He’s a great problem solver. In that way, he’s very indie. Here’s a guy who could have whatever budget he wants - and we finished shooting early."
And as for how his casting came about, it sounds as though the process was very informal indeed…
"He came up to me and said, ' Mud . I love that movie.’ I sat down with him for about 2½ hours at his house. Not one word came up about Interstellar . I walked out not sure what to think. I mean, he’s not a guy who takes general meetings!"
Directed by Nolan and co-starring Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck and many more, Interstellar will open in the UK on 7 November 2014.
