Christopher Nolan writes ‘Interstellar’ prequel comic

‘Interstellar’ director Christopher Nolan wrote seven page long comic as a prequel of his highest grossing movie of 2014.

The comic titled ‘Absolute Zero’ drawn by Punk Rock Jesus artist Sean Gordon Murphy, fills in some of the backstory and gives away one of the movie’s casting surprises by focusing on Matt Damon’s mysterious character ‘Doctor Mann’ who was sent through a wormhole to vet a new world for human life long before the perceived timeline of the movie begins.

‘Absolute Zero’ presents a Dark Star-like vision of a lonely, soulless interplanetary expedition, with an increasingly hopeless Mann taking out his frustrations on his mechanized companion. It will feature in the new issue of foreign magazine ‘Wired’, media reported.

‘Interstellar’ starring Matthew McCaughey, Anna Hathaway and Jessica Chastain revolve around a team of astronauts who travel through a wormhole in search of a new habitable planet. The movie has grossed more than $320 million worldwide.
