Watch: David Ortiz travels to space in promo for 'Life'

Retirement has taken David Ortiz to some strange places, including the outer reaches of the solar system.
In a fake trailer for the upcoming science fiction film "Life," Ortiz is shown lounging and eating snacks under a scientific research team's microscope. The former Red Sox slugger proves mercurial when poked by a scientist's finger.
Ortiz has stuck to his guns about retirement, even though he hit .315 with 38 home runs, 127 RBIs, and an MLB-leading 48 doubles last season, finishing sixth in AL MVP voting.
He's not actually in the film, unless the above trailer is offering a massive - and incomprehensible - spoiler.
