Could someone (who really thinks they know the script) post the most up to date "guess" at who plays who in the movie (with regards to young/old versions). I'm a little confused based on some of the stuff I've read/seen, even with the new trailer.

Matthew McConaughey - Cooper
Anne Hathaway - Brand
Jessica Chastain - Murph
Mackenzie Foy - Young Murph
Casey Affleck - Tom
Timothee Chalamet - Young Tom
Michael Caine - Brand's Father, Professor
John Lithgow - Donald
Wes Bentley - One of the astronauts (Possibly Doyle)
David Gyasi - One of the astronauts (Possibly Roth but younger than in the script)
David Oyelowo - School Principal

These things are sure. For all the others we are just speculating. So I am speculating that:

Ellen Burstyn - Old Murph
William Devane - Old Tom
Topher Grace and Elyes Gabel are on earth, not sure for their characters.
Matt Damon filmed in Iceland so he has to be someone in space.
Bill Irwin could be playing Tars (voiceover) but I can't really say

Awesome, thanks. Confirmed a lot of my thoughts.

One question - anyone able to figure out who the second astronaut is in the cryo-tank? (other than Gyasi). I thought it looked like a female, maybe Brand?

No, no... I'm pretty sure
Topher Grace plays adult Tom. They look a lot more similar than Affleck and Timothee do

I don't think so because in the trailer we see both Affleck and Chastain and not Topher Grace. I don't think that Nolan would have shown only the one of the two children.

I thought the same thing, except for the sequencing of events:
...they showed JC after McC departed from Earth, whereas Affleck was shown earlier in the sequencing of events, before he launches off. With that said, we know Nolan dislikes linearity :problem:

Judging by the set photos, Topher Grace's character is dressed far too nice to be the son of a farmer. My guess is he's a NASA specialist hired to find Cooper.
