We are getting our first look at the highly anticipated film Interstellar, thanks to a nearly two-minute trailer.

The teaser is voiced by Matthew McConaughey and he ponders how to revive humanity's drive to discover the universe.

"We've always defined ourselves by the ability to overcome the impossible," McConaughey says as we get a nostalgic look back at vintage clips of space missions. "And we count these moments, these moments when we dared to aim higher, to break barriers, to reach for the stars, to make the unknown, known."

"We count these moments as our proudest achievements, but we lost all that," he adds. "And perhaps we've just forgotten that we're still pioneers. That we've barely begun. And that our greatest accomplishments cannot be behind us. Cause our destiny lies above us."

In addition to McConaughey, the star-studded cast includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck and Michael Caine.

This is Nolan's first film since The Dark Knight Rises in 2012.

The official Interstellar website offers this brief synopsis: "In the future, governments and economies across the globe have collapsed, food is scarce, NASA is no more, and the 20th Century is to blame. A mysterious rip in spacetime opens and it's up to whatever is left of NASA to explore and offer up hope for mankind."

Interstellar, produced by Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros., hits theaters in November 2014.
