Fresh from the critical and box-office success of Inception and the Dark Knight trilogy, director Christopher Nolan has the ultimate freedom to do whatever kind of movie he wants to do. With Interstellar, the 44-year old director has decided to bring to the big screen an original story that he and his brother have created.

The British director has stated in previous interviews that he had long dreamed of making a movie that would be at par with the science fictions he loved growing up, such as Star Wars, and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Now with the release of his sci-fi movie's trailer, we see that it is just like his previous films, The Prestige, Inception, and The Dark Knight, which seems to show plenty of details, but hardly says anything about the plot.

With the tagline "Mankind was born on earth. But we were never meant to die here," the British director sets the viewers on course for a sci-fi adventure that seems to revolve around space travel and even time travel.

So what can we learn from the trailer, aside from the fact that the movie features a star-studded cast that includes Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Jessica Chastain, and John Lithgow?

For one, we know that Matthew McConaughey plays a father who seems to be called out on a dangerous space mission.

We also knowthat this is hard science fiction. The official website has sated that the storyline of the movie was based on a lecture by astrophysicist Kip Thorne (now a consultant on the film), about time travel and wormholes. We see some evidence of some kind of cryogenic preservation happening with the crew being zipped up in plastic units filled with liquid.

We can probably also conclude that Jessica Chastain and Casey Affleck play older versions of Matthew McConaughey's son and daughter. If the movie is indeed about time travel and worm holes, there is reason to believe that we will be seeing a lot of back and forth between two time frames.

Interstellar will hit movie screens on November 7, 2014.
