First Teaser for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar

The first teaser for Christopher Nolan's new film, Interstellar, dropped today. The teaser doesn't really tell us anything about the plot, its more of a motivational speech thing. It looks rather interesting, and I am anxious for the trailer to drop soon. Check out the teaser below.

Christopher Nolan's Interstellar

Batman and Inception director Christopher Nolan is making what looks like a very promising sci-fi movie. It is called Interstellar, and was written by Nolan and his brother Jonathan. The movie was meant to be for Steven Speilberg to direct, but Nolan enden up directing the sci-fi epic. The plot is said to involve time travel, and knowing Nolan, he might make it as cool as Inception. Interstellar will star Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Casey Affleck, among other actors. The movie opens November 7, 2014 and I'm really looking forward to it.  It looks great. 

Trailer - Edge of Tomorrow

Tom Cruise is starring in a new film titile the Edge of Tomorrow. The film is another of Cruise's sci-fi films, and looks majestic. It also stars Emily Blunt and is about soldier that wakes up everyday in his first day of recruitment in a future war. Think of it as Groundhog Day meets Oblivion. The film will be directed by Doug Liman and is due in theaters June 6. It looks great!

Sci-Fi Stopped Being a Boys Only Club

Of the 29 people that have won the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America’s lifetime achievement award, only 4 of them are women. However, 3 of those women have won the award in the past decade. This has pretty much made a trend for sci-fi movies to stop being a boy only club. Movies like the Hunger Games have shown the potential comercial and critical success of making a science fiction movie with a lead female protagonist, that can be enjoyed by both male and females alike. Even old sci-fi films like Alien have shown this potential, as well as movies from the early 2000s like Tomb Raider. Do you think this is just a temporary trend, or will this continue?
