I'm really excited for Interstellar. They managed to bring along Kip Thorne who is a huge contributor to gravitational physics and applying the theory of relativity to astrophysics. As he said in the below video the visual effects team was able to visualize a black hole out of a set of equations that Kip wrote and in his words "black holes are never showed accurately". So this brings my hopes up. A couple of links on this:
