 quote:A group of explorers make use of a newly discovered wormhole to surpass the limitations on human space travel and conquer the vast distances involved in an interstellar voyage. http://www.traileraddict.com/trailer/interstellar/teaser-trailer Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, and Anne Hathaway, among others. The teaser for this film was just released, and as teasers go, I think it's perfect. There's something that's missing from modern big budget or high profile Sci-Fi (to me, anyway,) and that is romance. If there's one thing I take away from this teaser it's a beautiful feeling of almost ... emptiness, I guess. When it ends, and you see that rocket flying up into the sky, and McConaughey says "our destiny lies above," it fills me with a sense of anticipation that I don't think I've ever felt for a film. If there's one thing you can count on with Nolan, it's that he'll take an ambitious idea and completely buy into it. Inception was a mess in parts, but considering everything involved in the story, would you have rather seen anyone else do it?

I'm down for this. McConaughey just oozes charisma and he can totally sell any character he portrays.

Have to quote this post from twoot from the Trailers thread, because this is the most interesting thing I've heard about it so far:twoot posted:It was filming as of late November. I'm crazy excited for this.

I'm hoping it treats space more along the lines of Gravity, despite the necessary sci-fi conceits it'll require to sell a wormhole cinematically.

Christopher Nolan is my favorite director, so I was hyped up about this movie anyways. But that teaser, despite not really showing anything, has made me even more excited, especially that last shot. I mentioned this in another thread, but the cinematographer for this is Hoyte Van Hoytema, best known for doing cinematography on "Let The Right One In" and "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy", so "Interstellar" should be at least a beautifully shot movie. Anybody know where the music in the teaser is from? Is it original or from something else?

The cast looks fantastic and the teaser was interesting (and, to steal what a poster above said, it did feel 'romantic'). It was always a treat getting an original Nolan film in between Batman so I'm definitely looking forward to this. Also, more big budget sci-fi is excellent

I was so excited about this at first. Christopher Nolan directing a Sci-Fi flick? Are you kidding me? Count me the gently caress in! And then I heard Matthew McConaughey is in it. Matthew loving McConaughey!! I love Sci-Fi and Nolan but I seriously might skip this one now.

He's proven to be a genuinely good actor in the past few years, and he certainly won't ruin the movie if that's what you're worried about.

McConaughey gave not one but three of the best film performances of 2012. He's the #1 reason to be excited about this movie.

drat good teaser. That last shot was some Carl Sagan poo poo. I'm surprised to hear people are excited about McConaughey, but I guess I've only ever seen him in bad movies.

Bung Harmer posted:If you think of him as that guy in those lovely chick flicks, you're wrong. He broke out of that mold and he's proven to be a FANTASTIC actor who blows me away every time. I read an interview where he recognized he was taking on some very "easy" roles. His filmography of the 00's- half are interchangeably typecast. In 2011, he starred in the Lincoln Lawyer and even though the movie wasn't "great" it was a complete turn-around for him. His worst movie since was The Paperboy, but it was still different from "clueless romantic lead". He's starred in better movies in the past two years than he has if you compare the rest of his career. He reached a level of self-awareness few actors achieve. He came to a point where starring in a better movie was more fulfilling than starring in a popular (more well known) movie with a higher paycheck.

Cage posted:Looks great, "One year from now" is a little weird, though. Trying to give it a sheen of importance? I'm a diehard Nolan fan but am a bit worried (a worry elevated by the trailer) that this will employ the typical disaster movie tropes that have long since grown tired. Hopefully it's not a band-of-scientists-needs-to-quickly-save-humanity type thing. Definitely seen that movie before. Knowing that Nolan re-wrote the original script incorporating his own ideas gives me quite a bit of comfort, though. The fact that it's also under Inception-type levels of secrecy (and they showed virtually nothing in the teaser) also gives me hope.

Physics geeks are going to have a ton of fun breaking down this film. The script throws around the phrase "blue shift" like no one's business. Arkane posted:Trying to give it a sheen of importance? The draft I read written by Jonathan Nolan definitely swings closer to the film you don't want to see but it's already obvious that Nolan has done some significant reworking of the script. The original draft, by the way, was a hoot. Its scope big, and quite genuinely emotional even though its a "disaster" flick. It's really playful. Christopher Nolan doesn't really do hoots or "playful". This draft was written when the project was still Spielberg's so obviously Nolan will tailor it to his own style, but I cannot help but think that this film might be a big challenge for him.

The last time I thought "Goddamnit, Matthew McConaughey's in this?  " was before Tropic Thunder, so at least 5 years ago.

I know the movie will likely end up being good, but the trailer was kind of lackluster. I know it was just a teaser and all, but really the only thing you could glean from it was the the movie will be about space. It didn't really grab me.

Rageaholic Monkey posted:The last time I thought "Goddamnit, Matthew McConaughey's in this? Tropic Thunder was pretty much his tipping point into taking better roles. Or maybe his bit part in Eastbound and Down where I believe he uses the phrase 'dragon pussy' as a metaphor for success.

To be honest, it think that he is really underrated in Reign of Fire (2002), and that might have been the stepping-off point. He sells tough guy, but more than that, tough guy who forces himself not to wrestle with his choices. I thought he did far better than Bale.

Some people just can't stand Matthew McConaghey, it seems. My father is one of them. He admits that Matthew is a good actor, but says that he has no urge to watch his movies anyway. "There is something inherent about him that I dislike. Can't really explain it, but it's this odd swagger of sorts in every role he plays". I still intend to watch Dallas Buyer's Club with him, if only to sway his mind. Heck, I would have agreed with him some years ago, but these days I honestly think that McConaghey is one of the best actors around, and somebody who has shed that veil of 'Hollywood cockiness' from his shoulders. Whatever role he takes, I'm there to see it. His transformation throughout the past few years has been incredible. Now, regarding the teaser... I thought it was beautiful. A perfect teaser, if you will. A year is a pretty long time to wait for a film, but I'm certain that Nolan is worth it. I know nothing about the plot, and I intend to keep it that way.

I am excited about this but the teaser wasn't really enough for me... I think just because I can't really tell at all what this movie's going to really be about. I mean, the Inception teaser was kind of the same, but it threw in enough crazy imagery that I was excited anyway even though the premise wasn't explained yet at all; I kind of got an idea of what to expect just from snippets of the rotating hotel hallway and stuff like that. I'm excited because sci fi and space and Nolan but I don't have a grasp on it beyond that just yet.

On one hand, I'm looking forward to this because Nolan knows how to structure a film in unique ways but on the other hand we get to put up with another 18 months of  to the point where the mods make it bannable to discuss him again.I'm hoping that doesn't happen again because Nolan is a talented filmmaker and I find myself watching Memento every year to be reminded of this.

I personally didn't consider it boring, just that I'm looking way forward to a real trailer so I can grab onto something a little more substantial. The teaser for Inception was more effective for me because it got me interested in seeing more on its own, whereas Nolan/sci fi/Inception that's getting me interested in Interstellar and not any particular thing I saw in the teaser.
