Great First Trailer and Poster for Netflix Original Historical Drama Feature RUSTIN
Netflix has released the first trailer for their historical drama Rustin. The film stars Colman Domingo (Selma, Fear the Walking Dead) as the title character, Bayard Rustin; and he is joined by Chris Rock, Glynn Turman, Aml Ameen, Gus Halper, CCH Pounder, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Johnny Ramey, Michael Potts, Jeffrey Wright and Audra McDonald. The film was directed by George C. Wolfe (The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom), from a script written by Julian Breece (When They See Us) and Dustin Lance Black (Milk, Under the Banner of Heaven).
The film’s synopsis reads:
“Directed by DGA Award and five-time Tony Award winner George C. Wolfe and starring Emmy Award winner Colman Domingo, RUSTIN shines a long overdue spotlight on Bayard Rustin, the architect of 1963’s momentous March on Washington. Alongside giants like the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr., Adam Clayton Powell Jr., and Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin dared to imagine a different world and inspired a movement in a march toward freedom.”
This looks like it’s going to be fantastic. The trailer is great, and the cast and crew alone is impressive. Check out the trailer and poster below, and watch Rustin in select theaters on November 3rd, and on Netflix on November 17th.
