'The First' trailer: Sean Penn joins humanity's first excursion to Mars in new Hulu thriller
Created by 'House of Cards' creator Beau Willimon, 'The First' follows the journey of the first humans to step foot on Mars
'The First,' Hulu's upcoming drama about a team of astronauts who become the first humans to visit Mars, is scheduled for a September 14 premiere. The first teaser trailer for the Sean Penn-starring thriller is out and shows the Academy Award-winning actor in a contemplative mood as a few brave souls prepare of an excursion into the unknown.
The trailer unfolds with a gorgeous still of Earth from space, the sun's resplendent rays casting a yellow hue over the oceans and the clouds and a shot of Aurora Borealis, with Penn's voice proclaiming: "At that altitude, you can touch it." The brainchild of 'House of Cards' creator Beau Willimon, the series has already been tipped to be a hot contender at the year's Emmy awards.
