Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' Trailer Lifts Off with NASA Footage (Video)

The two-minute clip features actor Matthew McConaughey narrating a series of scenes mostly borrowed from NASA's history.
"We count these moments ... when we dared to aim higher, to break barriers — to reach for the stars," McConaughey says. "To make the unknown known."
Some of those moments play out in the teaser, including Chuck Yeager jetting off in the Bell X-1 to break the sound barrier, Alan Shepard becoming the first American to fly in space on board his Mercury capsule, and Neil Armstrong, together with his Apollo 11 crewmates, preparing to board the Saturn V rocket that will launch them on the first moon landing mission.

Other archival NASA footage shows the Gemini 2 capsule falling back to Earth as audio from the Gemini 6 mission plays, and the Apollo 12 lunar module "Intrepid" beginning its descent to the moon as Armstrong's famous "one giant leap" is heard in the "Interstellar" teaser trailer. "We count these moments as our proudest achievements, but we lost all that," McConaughey says.
His words are matched with footage of the orbiter Atlantis launching and then landing on the final flight of the space shuttle program. NASA mission commentator Rob Navias can be heard describing Atlantis' touchdown.
"Having fired the imagination of a generation ... [the space shuttle] pulls into port for the last time," Navias said.
The video then goes black, fading into a scene of an old sci-fi style rocket model sitting on a bookshelf.
"erhaps we've just forgotten that we are still pioneers," McConaughey says, "that we've barely begun and that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us, that our destiny lies above us."
And with that, the trailer comes to an end with two people watching a distant rocket lift off from over the horizon of a corn field. The movie's title is displayed vertically, tracing the path of the launch.
The teaser doesn't reveal much, if anything, about the plot of "Interstellar,"which will be released by Paramount and Warner Brothers in November 2014. The movie is Nolan's first since completing "The Dark Knight" trilogy of Batman films last year.
A synopsis released by Paramount describes "Interstellar" as following 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." Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne of the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is credited with the story, which is based on his theories of gravity fields and wormholes.
In addition to McConaughey, who plays Cooper in the film, "Interstellar" stars Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Bill Irwin, Ellen Burstyn and Michael Caine. John Lithgow and Matt Damon are also in the film.

felem nim Christopher Nolan sengaja tak bagi script langsung dekat Hans Zimmer, so Hans Zimmer kena buat muzik soundtrack tanpa tahu apa-apa jalan cerita felem nim, gigihlah Hans Zimmer nak kena buat lagu scene sedih, scene gembira, scene naik semangat, padahal tak tahu berapa lama nak sedih, berapa sedih scene tu, sebab Christopher Nolan nak muzik kali nim betul-betul original tak ada pengaruh scene felem.
Persis James Horner masa karang muzik Alien 1 dalam masa 14 hari.
banyak yang tak tahu, MAN OF STEEL ada sentuhan Christopher Nolan, tapi tak gah sangat bukan?
Malah TRANSCENDENCE tu pun idea asal Christopher Nolan, tinggal lagi dia cuba bagi peluang dekat cinematographer INCEPTION buat felem debut, hasilnya flop bukan?, kiranya Christopher Nolan terselamat sebab namanya tak tercemar dek dia yang arahkan, dia suruh orang lain arahkan, dia just executive producer jah. Christopher Nolan dah hilang sengat sebegitu.
Musti Christopher Nolan risau-risau sekarang nim, banyak hasil karya sentuhan dia tak berapa nak menjadi pasca TDKR pasca INCEPTION. Ummah terlalu berharap sangat dengan Christopher Nolan, so watch out for this INTERSTELLAR, boleh flop boleh berjaya.
Saat para cerdikpandey percaya sangat, bahwa kehidopan manusia di bumi ni akan terancam punah suatu hari nanti,dan tidak ada satu pun yang dapat menolong mereka kecuali....... mereka berjaya/berusaha sampai menemukan suatu tempat kehidupan yang baru di luar planet bumi mereka....tapi sayangnya katanya salah satu cerdikpandey bernama Kip Thorne,mengatakan... di galaksi ini sudah tidak ada lagi tempat sesuai yang bole menggantikan Bumi untuk menemui kita harus melalui lubang hitam ....so cerita interstellarini, senang cerita akan mengisahkan hero kita iaiutu si matthew naik spaceship menujuke lubang hitam.... dengan harapan akan berjumpa ler gitu kisahnya
