Check Out THE BIRTH OF A NATION's Living Poster
Ever since The Birth of a Nation took the Sundance Film Festival by storm earlier this year, I've been dying to see it. Nate Parker's passion project looks like a powerful true story well-told, and Fox Searchlight has just released two new posters for the movie before its debut later this year. One is a "living poster" with quotes from the film and some footage that eventually freezes into the same image as the more traditional poster. Watch that below, along with the first teaser trailer in case you missed that when it dropped a little while ago.
The Birth of a Nation hits theaters on October 7th, and in the meantime, you can read Joey's review from Sundance here.
Set against the antebellum South, The Birth of a Nation follows Nat Turner (Nate Parker), a literate slave and preacher, whose financially strained owner, Samuel Turner (Armie Hammer), accepts an offer to use Nat’s preaching to subdue unruly slave. As he witnesses countless atrocities — against himself and his fellow slaves — Nat orchestrates an uprising in the hopes of leading his people to freedom.
