Christopher Nolan 'Interstellar' Trailer, Official Teaser Starring Matthew Mcconaughey & More [VIDEO]
The first official trailer of Christopher Nolan's Interstellar was revealed on Dec. 14 and it gives away very little about the plot of the film.
The clip mostly celebrates mankind's accomplishments but seems to suggest that humanity suffered a major backlash, saying all was lost. The film features a lot of archival footage of some of America's greatest achievements in the realm of science and space technology.
It features Neil Armstrong, Alan Sheperd, the space shuttle Atlantis, NASA footage of the Gemini 2 capsule falling back to earth and the Apollo 12 lunar module beginning its descent to the moon. The footage-heavy clip is interspersed with shots of Matthew McConnaughey driving his truck through large crop fields. The film is supposed to be based on theories about gravity fields and wormholes.
All of these visuals in the clip are against a long-running voiceover:
"We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible and we count these moments, these moments when we dare to aim higher, to break barriers to reach for the stars to make the unknown known, we count these moments as our proudest achievements but we lost all that or perhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers and that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us cause our destiny lies above us."
A synopsis of the film, released by Paramount, described as a "group of explorers [making] use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and [to] conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage."
The film also stars Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn, Michael Caine, John Lithgow and Matt Damon. Intersellar is scheduled for release in November 2014
