Christopher Nolan's Interstellar lands its First Trailer

That's right everyone, after his epic conclusion to The Dark Knight Trilogy, Christopher Nolan has assembled an all-star cast lead by Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, and Ellen Burstyn.

Though the trailer isn't big on details (which it more than makes up for with gorgeous cinematography, and a voice-over by McConaughey), the official synopsis released by Paramount and Warner Bros states:

"When a wormhole (which hypothetically connects widely-separated regions of spacetime) is newly discovered, a team of explorers and scientists embark on a voyage through it to transcend previous limitations on human space travel."

The Hollywood Reporter said in addition to the official synopsis, "The plot is believed to involve time travel and alternate dimensions, but other details are being kept under wraps."

The film is slated for a November 7, 2014 release, which puts it smack dab in the middle of the Oscar race. Inception racked up some major nominations back in 2010, and The Dark Knight should've been a Best Picture Nominee was snubbed for Best Picture and Best Director, though it landed some major wins and nominations (including a win for Heath Ledger as The Joker). 

Could it be just a commercial thing though? Or will it actually play into the circuit. McConaughey, Hathaway, and Chastain's involvement doesn't hurt, and Nolan has been close to a Director nomination for quite some time. Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity could lessen the "sci-fi" bias that's existed within the Academy for so long now, as it's a top tier contender this year.
