Casey Affleck let it slip in a recent interview that he has won a role in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar. He is the latest star to get a part in the movie, which already stars Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Matthew McConaughey.
The actor, who starred in his brother Ben Affleck’s Gone Baby Gone, spoke with Elle about his future and current projects. According to ComingSoon.net, at the end of the itnerview, he says that he is working with the Dark Knight trilogy director.
“I’ve got a movie coming out at Thanksgiving called Out of the Furnace, and I’m going to work on a Chris Nolan movie in the fall,” Affleck said.
As Slash Film notes, the only film Nolan is working on this fall is Interstellar. Affleck didn’t mention any other details about the project.
Affleck has established himself as an actor thanks to roles in The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Gone Baby Gone. He also directed Joaquin Phoenix’s mockumentary Now I’m Here and currently stars in Ain’t Them Bodies Saints.
Phoenix is his brother-in-law and he told Elle that he’d love to work with him again. “He’s just supremely talented,” Affleck said. “I learned so much from him—he’s an incredibly talented actor, and he’s always fascinating to watch and more fascinating to be around, you know, watching him work.”
Interstellar is due out on Nov. 7, 2014.
