Interstellar Trailer 3

[Azalee Freas]

Heyall,I decided to record a cover of the final part of music 'Final Frontier' from the album Sun by a great composer named Thomas Bergersen. This piece was actually used in the trailer for the movie Interstellar where most of you will probably recognise it. I absolutely love this composition so i thought i would arrange it from scratch with all my own drums, guitar, bass, piano, strings and brass.Hope you enjoy!Please download as the streaming quality is poor!Justin

On one hand, I wish Paramount (a division of Viacom, Inc.) had held this trailer for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar offline until the entire opening weekend of Godzilla ($9.3 million in Thursday shows, by the way, a $100m debut is no longer out of the question) had concluded. I talk quite a bit about how trailers arguably should be seen first in theaters as opposed to the small computer monitors (or smart phones) on which so many of us see them for the first time.

I appreciated, however inconvenient it was to me as a film critic, when Warner Bros. held back on the teasers for the last two Batman films until after the debut weekends of the films they were attached to and when Paramount kept the Star Trek Into Darkness teaser offline until after The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey's opening weekend.

I presumed that Warner Bros. would be keeping this one offline until Sunday night, but it's Friday at 11:00am on the opening day of Godzilla, and Paramount is debuting the trailer. This is arguably because Warner Bros. (a division of Time Warner), which gave Paramount back the rights to the Friday the 13th franchise in order to distribute this overseas, dropped the trailer online about an hour ago.

If I had the time I would seriously consider buying an IMAX ticket to Godzilla just to see this how it's meant to be seen. It is stirring and potent even on a small computer monitor, so I can only imagine how well it plays on the biggest of big screens. Not that I can complain about seeing new movies prior to their theatrical release, but one of the negative consequences is being unable to see trailers like this as they premiere in theaters.

Yet here I am doing an article about watching trailers in theaters as I put up a YouTube embed of the given trailer with the presumption that many (if not most) of said readers came to this page to watch said trailer on their computers. Anyway, the trailer is out, and the picture looks pretty much as we hoped it would.

Chris Nolan is officially free from the DC Cinematic Universe and free to do whatever he wants. While few filmmakers have the utter freedom that Nolan has earned thanks to the successes of the Dark Knight trilogy and Inception, it's beyond wonderful that he is using said capitol to tell a purely original story of his (and his brother's) choice rather than hopping from one preconceived franchise to another.

Back "in the day", you scored in a blockbuster and then went off and made a "one for me" film. Today you score in a franchise and your reward is a different franchise. That's an issue for another day, one arguably left for a piece closer to this film's November release date. Like the best Chris Nolan trailers, the film gives away quite a bit while all-but-stating that there is plenty you still don't know.

The Prestige trailer was an out-and-out lie, selling a supernatural thriller about Hugh Jackman's "good magician" versus Christian Bale's "evil" magician who it was implied was actually some kind of dark wizard. The trailers for The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises offered plenty of footage but no real plot details. And only the final (and uber-popular) Inception trailer laid out anything resembling plot.

All we get from this one is the barest of context, with the sadly plausible notion that Earth has been decimated by climate change and that the only hope for humanity is outer-space travel. Despite the depressing tagline ("Mankind was born on Earth. But we were never meant to die here."), the tone seems to be going for hope and the thrill of discovery against the harshest of scenarios. Most of the trailer is focused on Matthew McConaughey and his kids, with bits given to Michael Caine and Jessica Chastain among others.

I have my theories about the sci-fi story that allegedly involves wormholes and the like, but I'm keeping that to myself in case I'm right. There is a part of me that naively hopes that Paramount and Warner Bros. don't feel the need to cut another trailer after this one. I would love for them to let the movie stars (McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, etc.) do the press rounds while cutting a few more cryptic TV spots and let that carry the day. No spoiler-filled trailers, no deluge of online clips, none of those things that I constantly complain about.

Yes Interstellar is an original film and yes it needs to be aggressively sold, but if you don't want to see an original science-fiction adventure from Christopher Nolan, I can't imagine what more you need at this point. Anyway, watch the trailer above or trek out to the biggest Godzilla screen you can find and watch it as intended. Interstellar opens November 7th, 2014. It's yet another grand original studio release in a time when everyone complains about how few of those we get. So it's worth rooting for on principle.

The visual and aural elements crescendos and at the end of the trailer the narrative draws you in completely, at the same time feeling the presence of a universe that is much bigger than yourself. Ok, not the last part.

In the teaser, we also find out that humans don't have much time to find a new home planet. "Your daughter's generation will be the last to survive on Earth," Michael Caine, as a professor, gravely tells Cooper.

The final "Interstellar" trailer is a reward in a new online experience that launched Monday (Sept. 29) by Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. and Google. Through the website , visitors can find the trailer and other film Easter eggs in a "Space Hunt," while two other experiences (a Time Capsule and Transmissions) are also promised.

"Interstellar" is partly based on the writings of physicist Kip Thorne. The movie will go into wide released in the United States on Nov. 7, but the new trailer reveals that the film will start showing in IMAX theaters two days earlier, on Nov. 5.

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.

"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.

"Perhaps 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.

The epic scope of Interstellar is on full view in the latest trailer for the upcoming Christopher Nolan science fiction movie, which shows Earth in the throes of ecological disaster and Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway struggling to come to terms with their mission to save humanity.
