The new script 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. 

 

?INTERSTELLAR? features a prestigious cast that includes Matthew McConaughey (?Magic Mike,? ?Mud?), Academy Award? winner Anne Hathaway (?Les Miserables,? ?The Dark Knight Rises?), Academy Award? nominee Jessica Chastain (?Zero Dark Thirty,? ?The Tree of Life?), Bill Irwin (?Rachel Getting Married,?

Academy Award? nominee Casey Affleck (?The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,? ?Gone Baby Gone?), David Gyasi (?Cloud Atlas?), Wes Bentley (?The Hunger Games?), Mackenzie Foy (?The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn ? Parts 1 and 2?) Timoth?e Chalamet (TV?s ?Homeland?), Topher Grace (?Spider-Man 3?), David Oyelowo (?Jack Reacher,? ?Rise of the Planet of the Apes?), Academy Award? winner Ellen Burstyn (?The Last Picture Show,? ?The Exorcist?), and Academy Award? winner Michael Caine (?The Cider House Rules,? ?The Dark Knight? Trilogy). 

 

The film is being produced by Academy Award? nominee Emma Thomas (?Inception,? ?The Dark Knight? Trilogy) and Lynda Obst (?How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,? ?The Siege?). Renowned theoretical physicist Kip Thorne is consulting on the film as well as serving as executive producer, along with Jake Myers (?Jack Reacher,? ?RED,? ?RED 2?) and Jordan Goldberg (?Inception,? ?The Dark Knight? Trilogy). 

 

The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Hoyte van Hoytema (?Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,? ?The Fighter?), Academy Award?-nominated production designer Nathan Crowley (?The Dark Knight? Trilogy), Academy Award?-nominated costume designer Mary Zophres (?Gangster Squad,? ?True Grit?) Academy Award?-nominated editor Lee Smith (?The Dark Knight? Trilogy,? ?Elysium,?), Academy Award?-winning composer Hans Zimmer (?The Lion King,? ?The Dark Knight?

The Playlist have revealed that Matt Damon is the latest addition to the cast of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar. While details on the character he will play are of course being kept under lock and key, they do reveal that it will be a fairly minor role as Damon will only be on set - in Iceland - for two weeks of the four month shoot. The actor joins an incredible lineup of stars which includes Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, John Lithgow, Topher Grace and Michael Caine.

    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance

      Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com

      I wonder how driving laws around the world will change. No way to really tell if people are using phone. Same with smart watches i guess even now and those silly built in tablets for controlling the car instead of buttons.
