Yesterday brought news that fans of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar can buy a ticket for unlimited screenings of the filmmaker’s cosmic adventure, and now a prequel comic tied to the film has been published online, scripted by Nolan himself.

The seven-page comic appears in the December issue of Wired (which is guest-edited by Nolan), and the comic is also available to read online now. The story serves as a prequel to the film, describing an earlier attempt at finding a new home for Earth’s inhabitants somewhere among the stars.

It’s worth noting that, while the story itself doesn’t contain any overt spoilers, it does feature a character whose presence in the film (or rather, the actor playing him) is intended to be a bit of a surprise — so fair warning to any spoiler-sensitive readers.

Illustrated by Sean Murphy (The WakePunk Rock Jesus), the story is titled “Absolute Zero.” You can read it in full at Wired.com.

One of the best comic book TV adaptations is now on Netflix. Here’s why you should stream it
Ian Colletti in Preacher.

Netflix recently added several shows from AMC and AMC+, including Dark Winds, an acclaimed drama that has marched up the list of the most popular shows on Netflix. By comparison, Preacher has yet to make a similar impact on Netflix despite the fact that it was co-created by Garth Ennis, the co-creator of Prime Video's hit series The Boys.

Ennis and the late comic book artist Steve Dillon created Preacher as an adult comic book series for DC Comics' Vertigo line from 1995 to 2000. Several attempts to turn Preacher into a movie failed, and even HBO gave up on it before Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg -- who went on to adapt The Boys -- joined the project and developed it with Sam Catlin for AMC.

You can watch 8 minutes of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes for free right now
Noa and Raka face Mae in a scene from Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes.

Life has changed on the Planet of the Apes since the last movie in the franchise. Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes takes place 300 years after the death of Caesar in War for the Planet of the Apes, and the latest preview for the film features an extended opening that sheds some light on Noa (Owen Teague) and his tribe of apes. Most of the footage revolves around Noa as he attempts to get an eagle egg so he can raise the bird himself. Apparently, Noa's ape society is built around a symbiotic relationship between eagles and apes.

Like Christopher Nolan’s Inception? Then watch these 3 underrated sci-fi movies now
Leonardo DiCaprio in Inception.

This month, Christopher Nolan was finally recognized at the Academy Awards for Oppenheimer, earning him the Oscars for Best Director and Best Picture. But it was Nolan's 2010 film, Inception that established his movies as events unto themselves. Leonardo DiCaprio led the cast as Dom Cobb, the leader of a group of thieves who could invade the dreams of their victims and steal secrets directly out of their brains. It was a stunning sci-fi film with impressive visuals and great action, which helped make it one of the biggest movies of 2010.

The problem with looking for more movies like Inception is that there really aren't many films that compare. Even Nolan's Tenet comes up far short when compared to Inception. But since we are here to pick three movies like Inception, we've gone with a trio of mind-bending thrillers that are evocative on their own terms. Especially the first film, which may not be for the faint of heart.
