‘Interstellar’ Movie Spoilers: New Trailer Shows The Team Landing On A Planet! Was It The Correct Destination? What Did They Find There?

The "Interstellar" movie trailer released a more revealing trailer at Comic-Con. They showed one aspect that was not in previous trailers: the landing.

There was a leaked 2008 script that also spread on the internet but it's safe to say that Christopher Nolan did make revisions to it. And the new trailer still did not show some of the elements in that script. It is essential because it totally changes the concept of the movie.

Were there alien life forms on the planet?

Apparently, yes, but they were not exactly 'alien.'

From Cracked.com (a humor site but the spoilers were serious)

"They send a team to explore the planet (which includes a wise-cracking robot and Cooper, because he happened to be standing there), and the spacecraft dives through a wormhole, meets a race of "gravity beings," nearly gets sucked into a black hole, and then crash lands on Hoth II to discover that there's already a human settlement there and it's full of dead Chinese astronauts."

Cooper (Matthew McConaughey's character) and his crew were not the first to reach the planet. There was already a human settlement there but for some reason they were annihilated.

There were some crazy elements that Cracked cited, and of course, it was presented to depict humor but they were culled from what is still believed to be a legitimate script:

"The gang finds that the Chinese had sent a crew to the planet, which was wiped out by radiation from a nearby star. Realizing that the sun is about to rise and that they only have SPF 15 with them, they seek shelter in a cave covered by a special life form that absorbs the deadly radiation. The cave is also occupied by evil Chinese robots, who take the crew hostage and explain that the planet is going to be destroyed by another hitherto unknown black hole. The crew battles the robots and escapes with a gravity ray the Chinese had built with the intent of using it, somehow, to save humanity."

The trailer was cryptic enough to neither confirm not debunk these stories. Since it's a Nolan film, there will be an attempt to have actual science as a basis-but he is still a creative filmmaker, and science will be stretched by the imagination.

"Interstellar" will probably end up as the biggest movie of the year and it will be shown November 7, 2014.
