Watch Matthew McConaughey Be All Existential About Space And Shit In The New ‘Interstellar’ Trailer

One day, far in the future, scholars will pore over ancient texts to pinpoint exactly when Matt McConaughey made the transition from “piece of rom-com man-meat” to “grizzled Southern dero who’s inexplicably filled with weird and crappy wisdom”. Was it The Lincoln Lawyer? 2012’s Mud? Dallas Buyer’s Club? True Detective? It’s deeply unclear.

That said, the trailer makes Interstellar look fucking cool.

“Shucks, darlin'”, McConaughey drawls, turning from his silent perusal of the eternal mysteries of the cosmos to gaze deeply into your eyes. “Ah’m jes’ a simple fella who thinks real deep ’bout man’s place in th’ universe n’ whatnot”. He lights a cigarette, his eyes full of a sorrow too beautiful to name. “Guess ah’m jes’ lookin’ fer a home world of mah own, I reckon.”
