Heavy New Trailer for Denzel Washington’s FENCES

View fullsize

A second trailer has been released for Denzel Washington and Viola Davis’ upcoming drama Fences, and it’s pretty damn powerful. This is a compelling story that is based on August Wilson’s Broadway play that Washington and Davis also starred in. Just judging by what I see in this trailer, it looks like both actors give Oscar-worthy performances, and the subject matter of the film and characters is sure to bring on the tears. 

A former professional baseball player (Denzel Washington) creates tension in his family when he denies his teenage son's dream of playing college football and comes home with the baby he had through an affair.

Fences arrives in theaters on December 25, Christmas Day, and as much as I want to see it, it definitely doesn’t look like a film you’ll want to take the family to on Christmas day. Looks like a pretty heavy emotional drama. 

Watch the new official teaser trailer for Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. See it in theatres December 25, 2016. FENCES is directed by Denzel Washington from a screenplay by August Wilson, adapted from Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The film stars Denzel Washington, Viola Davis, Jovan Adepo, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Russell Hornsby, Mykelti Williamson, and Saniyya Sydney.
