Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' Is Officially Returning for New Release

Interstellar is one of Christopher Nolan's most ambitious films. That's a big statement to make, because it's fair to say Nolan is ambitious with every movie he attempts, but this, even 12 years later, might still be the biggest swing he's taken. It's also one of his most divisive, but one thing's for sure: it made a big impact, and news of a new release from the space-faring world Nolan, Kip Thorne and Jonathan Nolan created is sure to make fans sit up and take notice. And that's exactly what's about to happen, with news we're thrilled by.

A fan-designed LEGO set based on TARS, the sarcastic robot from Interstellar, has received approval through the LEGO Ideas program, which will bring it ever closer to an official release. The design recreates the movie's distinctive rectangular robot, whose unusual appearance and dry sense of humor made him one of the film's most memorable characters.

TARS is the automated companion who accompanies the crew of the Endurance on their mission to find humanity a new home, and ends up playing the most important role of anyone in bringing us all closer to our ultimate goal. The character is voiced by the incredible puppeteer Bill Irwin, and comes with a sarcasm setting. Something we all wish we could have for people we know.

The movie follows former NASA pilot Joseph Cooper, who leaves his family behind to lead a mission through a mysterious wormhole next to Saturn, with the goal of investigating a number of planets to check their suitability for making humanity a new home following a blight that has caused crops across the world to stop growing.
