The film stars Matthew McConaughey as an astronaut who must leave his family on Earth and travel through a wormhole to save the world from famine. The details of his mission are still fuzzy, but judging by all the shots of swirling storms and burning crops, our planet seems to be trapped in an extreme Dust Bowl scenario, leaving humans no choice but to look elsewhere in the universe for sustenance. You can expect a few familiar Nolan features: a gloomy color palette, some friends from the _Dark Knight_ trilogy (Michael Caine as mastermind rocket scientist, Anne Hathaway as fellow space traveler), and a dramatically swelling Hans Zimmer score. _Interstellar_ opens in November. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/103185/interstellar-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/103185/interstellar-trailer/"},"headline":"New Interstellar Trailer: Travel Through A Wormhole With Matthew McConaughey","datePublished":"2014-05-16T17:59:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T07:53:44.685Z","description":"Christopher Nolan's next film features McConaughey as a space traveler saving the world from famine","url":"https://time.com/103185/interstellar-trailer/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Giri Nathan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/giri-nathan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/103185/interstellar-trailer/","name":"New Interstellar Trailer: Travel Through A Wormhole With Matthew McConaughey"}}]}] ```
