Yesterday, we directed your attention to the recently launched website for Interstellar, Christopher Nolan’s upcoming sci-fi adventure that has managed to maintain quite a bit of mystery in the lead-up to its November 2014 premiere in theaters. At least one of the puzzles posed by the website appears to have been solved, however, with visitors now able to view the latest trailer for the film by inputting a no-longer-secret code.

As we indicated previously, a flashing constellation of stars that appeared on the website when visitors viewed it at night (the site changes according to visitors’ local time) made reference to the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing. When the site recently began asking visitors to submit a code, the date of the landing — July 20, 1969 — could be entered as “7201969” to unlock the third trailer for the film.

This trailer for Interstellar unlocked by the code is the same preview screened at Comic-Con International in San Diego that created quite a positive buzz when viewed on the massive screen at the convention center. To see it yourself, just head over to InterstellarMovie.com and submit that code. Or hit play on the embed below. It’s a grand, atmospheric sort of trailer that offers a slightly deeper look into the cosmic aspects of the story that remain largely a mystery at this point.

Interstellar hits theaters November 7 and stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Ellen Burstyn, John Lithgow, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Wes Bentley, and Topher Grace.

No one does spectacle like Christopher Nolan. The 52-year-old is one of the few filmmakers whose name alone can sell a movie. Over two decades, Nolan has perfectly balanced critically acclaimed films and commercially successful projects. From the indies (Following and Memento) and psychological thrillers (Insomnia and The Prestige) to comic book adaptions (The Dark Knight trilogy) and mind-bending epics (Inception and Interstellar), Nolan continues to create films that feel special and have a "can't miss" appeal.

Nolan's 12th film, Oppenheimer, is scheduled for release on July 21. Before experiencing the WWII biopic about the "father of the atomic bond," revisit Nolan's previous 11 films. Most of them are available on streaming services. However, there are a handful that must be purchased or rented.

Universal drops a new preview for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer

Over the past two decades, Christopher Nolan has established himself as one of the top directors in Hollywood. Tenet notwithstanding, Nolan has delivered hit after hit, to the point where his movies have become events unto themselves, even a decade plus after he wrapped up his Dark Knight trilogy.

Next week, Nolan returns to theaters with Oppenheimer, which is based on the true story of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy), the father of the Atomic Bomb. But in a newly released preview from Universal Pictures, it's clear that Oppenheimer goes beyond that point to explore the beginning of the nuclear arms race.

Oppenheimer trailer teases the race for the atomic bomb

"We're in a race against the Nazis, and I know what it means if the Nazis have a bomb," J. Robert Oppenheimer (Dunkirk's Cillian Murphy) states in the latest trailer for Oppenheimer. The new footage from Christopher Nolan's next epic highlights the lead-up to one of the most important developments in history, the creation of a nuclear bomb.

The tense three-minute trailer focuses on the early days of the Manhattan Project as Oppenheimer works with Leslie Groves (Air's Matt Damon) to create the Los Alamos Laboratory, a secluded site in New Mexico that would serve as the test site for the atomic bomb. As the trailer progresses, the two men begin to contemplate the severity of their work and the devastating impact it could have on the world. As the synopsis reads, Oppenheimer is the tragic story of an "enigmatic man who must risk destroying the world in order to save it."
