Emma Stone Vs. Steve Carell in The Trailer For BATTLE OF THE SEXES
The first trailer has been released for Emma Stone and Steve Carell's new film Battle of the Sexes. The film tells the true story of the infamous 1973 tennis match between Billie Jean King (Stone) and Bobby Riggs (Carell). Both actors fit their roles in the story perfectly. The movie definitely seems to highlight their talents. It looks like an interesting story with some fun comedy. Here's the synopsis:
The electrifying 1973 tennis match between World number one Billie Jean King (Stone) and ex-champ and serial hustler Bobby Riggs (Carell) was billed as the Battle of the Sexes and became the most watched televised sports event of all time. The match caught the zeitgeist and sparked a global conversation on gender equality, spurring on the feminist movement. Trapped in the media glare, King and Riggs were on opposites sides of a binary argument, but off-court each was fighting more personal and complex battles. With a supportive husband urging her to fight the Establishment for equal pay, the fiercely private King was also struggling to come to terms with her own sexuality, while Riggs gambled his legacy and reputation in a bid to relive the glories of his past. Together, Billie and Bobby served up a cultural spectacle that resonated far beyond the tennis courts and animated the discussions between men and women in bedrooms and boardrooms around the world.
The movie comes from directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, who were behind the Oscar-winning film Little Miss Sunshine. The movie also stars Elisabeth Shue, Sarah Silverman, Alan Cumming, Andrea Riseborough , Eric Christian Olsen, Natalie Morales, Austin Stowell, Wallace Langham, Jessica McNamee, Mickey Sumner, and Bill Pullman.
Battle of the Sexes will be released in theaters on September 22. Check out the trailer and let us know what you think. Does it look like a film you'd want to watch?
