selma-martin-luther-king-biopic-trailer

The first trailer and poster for the Martin Luther King Jr. biopic "Selma" have been released. The film chronicles King's struggle to secure voting rights for all people, particularly his epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama. The trailer is surprisingly vibrant and does a good job of introducing us to the injustice of that time in history. If the movie is as good as this trailer, it could turn out to be a serious awards contender. The cast features David Oyelowo, Carmen Ejogo, Tom Wilkinson, Andre Holland, Cuba Gooding Jr., Giovanni Ribisi, Tim Roth, Omar J. Dorsey, Alessandro Nivola, Oprah Winfrey, Common, Tessa Thompson, Dylan Baker, Wendell Pierce and Colman Domingo.

"Selma" will get a limited release on Christmas Day followed by a wide release on January 9th.

Check out the trailer and poster after the jump.





Official Synopsis
"“SELMA” is the story of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s historic struggle to secure voting rights for all people – a dangerous and terrifying campaign that culminated with the epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, and led to President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act of 1965."
