“We used to look up and wonder about our place in the stars. Now we just look down and worry about our place in the dirt,” Matthew McConaughey intones in the latest Interstellar trailer—establishing both the film’s tribute to the lamentably lost spirit of exploration on a wallowing, dying Earth, as well as this preview’s finally moving beyond the corn-filled soil of what we’ve understood so far. Indeed, this trailer promises to push us past the very limits of corn, introducing our first glimpses of Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain’s characters (and potentially spoiling the latter), and journeying to faraway alien worlds, in an epic voyage that Nolan himself compared to 2001 when he introduced it at Comic-Con.
