With that November 7 release date rushing to meet us like a landing craft ploughing through an atmosphere, it’s time for the promotional campaign for Interstellar to ramp up. And though we’re fairly certain director Christopher Nolan would be happy with zero TV spots so that we all go in unsullied, several have shown up. As with all things Interstellar, beware of potential spoilers lurking within.
The new spots share some footage, but also each include fresh looks at the film, particularly the mission led by Matthew McConaughey’s Cooper to journey through wormholes and find new planets for humanity to colonise.
Interstellar’s plot finds Earth dying from overpopulation and the catastrophic ravages of climate change and other pollution. In order to find a new home for the human race, NASA has quietly been building a ship that can exploit wormholes to journey farther than we’ve ever travelled.
But the cost of the trip could be high on those who take it – because time works differently when you’re dealing with complicated space phenomena…
With Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, John Lithgow, Ellen Burstyn, Mackenzie Foy, Wes Bentley, David Oyelowo, Elyes Gabel and Bill Irwin among the cast, Interstellar arrives, as mentioned above, on November 7.
