The Birth Of A Nation Trailer
Fox Searchlight has released a new trailer for Nate Parker‘s highly anticipated Nat Turner film, The Birth of a Nation.
The new trailer introduces more characters, features more dialogue, and more character interaction than the original.
Via Deadline:
Directed by and starring Parker, the film won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at Sundance and drew a record $17.5 million pickup. Set in the pre-war South, it focuses on Nat Turner (Parker), a literate slave and preacher whose financially strapped owner (Armie Hammer) accepts an offer to use Nat’s preaching to subdue unruly slaves. As he witnesses countless atrocities — against himself and his fellow slaves — Nat orchestrates an uprising in the hope of leading his people to freedom.
The film also stars Jackie Earle Haley, Gabrielle Union, Penelope Ann Miller, Aunjanue Ellis, Mark Boone Junior and Aja Naomi King. Parker produced it with Jason Michael Berman, Aaron L. Gilbert, Preston L. Holmes and Kevin Turen.
