Christopher Nolan's Interstellar: Watch the New Trailer

A new trailer for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming deep-space epic, Interstellar, was released Wednesday.

The Batman director sends actor Matthew McConaughey, accompanied by Anne Hathaway, on a space mission to explore a newly discovered wormhole and to “surpass the limitations on human space travel.”

This new trailer offers more than sci-fi action scenes among the stars — the clip shows the movie’s soft side, focusing mainly on McConaughey’s relationship with his daughter, played by Twilight actor Mackenzie Foy. Actors aside — Michael Caine returns with Hathaway — the trailer has an eerie resemblance to the Dark Knight trilogy.
