It was the first time either of the two has ever appeared at the San Diego convention. * _24_ [movie](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/07/24/24-movie-comic-con/?xid=timearticle) is “still potentially out there” * MTV [renews](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/07/24/teen-wolf-comic-con-2/?xid=timearticle) _Teen Wolf_ for fifth season * See the new [blooper reel](http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/07/24/hannibal-season-2-gag-reel/?xid=timearticle) for _Hannibal_ “Thought it would be a fun thing to come down and see what all the fuss is about,” Nolan said to the audience in Hall H, [according to _Variety_](http://variety.com/2014/film/news/christopher-nolan-matthew-mcconaughey-surprise-fans-at-comic-con-1201268735/). So far, audiences have seen only [cryptic trailers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWhVkztwYqA) for _Interstellar_. Nolan explained that the movie will focus on space travel. “To be an astronaut was the highest ambition,” he said. “The idea to keep exploring space farther and farther… it (fell) off greatly. We are in a period of incredible technological change, (but it’s about) what’s in your pocket, your living room. I like the idea that we are on the cusp of a brand new era and we are traveling outwards more.” McConaughey expanded upon Nolan’s hints in more concrete detail: “Cooper is a pilot, an engineer and a widowed pilot of two children where civilization is just sustaining,” the Oscar-winner explained. “There’s food, clean water, but they don’t need any explorers, no new bright ideas. Then something happens and the dream of being a pilot agains knocks on his door.” The actor said that the movie pits his character’s loyalty to the human race against his love for his family. Though Nolan has a history of taking on ambitious projects, like the _Dark Knight_ trilogy and _Inception_, the _True Detective_ actor said, “By far, this is the most ambitious film that Christopher Nolan has ever directed.” The movie is set to premiere on Nov. 7 and will also star Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine and Casey Affleck. \[[_Variety_](http://variety.com/2014/film/news/christopher-nolan-matthew-mcconaughey-surprise-fans-at-comic-con-1201268735/)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3031795/matthew-mcconaughey-christopher-nolan-comic-con/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3031795/matthew-mcconaughey-christopher-nolan-comic-con/"},"headline":"Matthew McConaughey, Christopher Nolan Make a Surprise Appearance at Comic-Con","datePublished":"2014-07-25T00:08:30.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:20:31.688Z","description":"They debuted a new trailer for Interstellar","url":"https://time.com/3031795/matthew-mcconaughey-christopher-nolan-comic-con/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte3327f92a3f2c437/69869d2dcd804da3f8ccc1a3/452624196.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte3327f92a3f2c437/69869d2dcd804da3f8ccc1a3/452624196.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Paramount Studios Presentation - Comic-Con International 2014","caption":"Paramount Studios Presentation - Comic-Con International 2014","creditText":"Kevin Winter—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3031795/matthew-mcconaughey-christopher-nolan-comic-con/","name":"Matthew McConaughey, Christopher Nolan Make a Surprise Appearance at Comic-Con"}}]}] ```
