Christopher Nolan’s first post-The Dark Knight Trilogy film, Interstellar, has been light on plot information since it was announced years ago. Back in May, there was concern that the film would be the last one to be shot on 70mm IMAX film stock. A month later, we learned about Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. co-distributing the film in exchange for the South Park and Friday the 13th film properties. Still, after a long summer and an even longer fall, no new news pertaining to the mysterious sci-fi film had arisen… until now.

Over the weekend, the first teaser trailer for Interstellar debuted with The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug, and what a teaser it is. Featuring voiceover narration from Matthew McConaughey, the teaser shares both archival footage and post-edited footage of an America that once was the pioneers of space travel. However, over time, our interest in the stars diminished. As McConaughey states at the end of the teaser, “Our destiny lies above us,” the general stage is set for Interstellar: a space-travel film in which the film’s protagonists return to the stars and, hopefully, bring some of that original glory and intrigue back.

Interstellar also stars Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, and Jessica Chastain, and will be in theaters in November 2014.
