Chadwick Boseman is a Man on a Mission in This Fantastic First Trailer For MARSHALL
I've got a great trailer here for you to watch for a fantastic looking new film called Marshall. The movie based on the true-life events of legendary attorney and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, who is played by Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther, 42). He is joined by Josh Gad (Beauty and the Beast) who takes on the role of Sam Friedman, a lawyer who works alongside Marshall. This looks like it will be quite a powerful film. Here's the synopsis:
Marshall is based on a true incident in the life of Thurgood Marshall, when he was a young lawyer, long before his appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court. As the nation teeters on the brink of WWII, a nearly bankrupt NAACP sends Marshall to conservative Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur against his wealthy socialite employer in a sexual assault and attempted murder trial that quickly became tabloid fodder. In need of a high profile victory but muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall is partnered with Samuel Friedman, a young Jewish lawyer who has never tried a case. Marshall and Friedman struggle against a hostile storm of fear and prejudice, driven to discover the truth in the sensationalized trial which helped set the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement to come.
The movie has a very talented cast of actors that also includes Kate Hudson (Almost Famous), Dan Stevens (The Guest), James Cromwell (Babe), Sterling K. Brown (The People vs. O.J. Simpson) and Keesha Sharp (The People v. O.J. Simpson).
Reginald Hudlin is directing the film and it's set to be released on October 13th.
