Woody Harrelson Transforms into President Lyndon B. Johnson in Trailer For LBJ
The first trailer for LBJ has been released and it features Woody Harrelson in a very different role as he plays Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th President of the United States. The movie comes from director by Rob Reiner (Misery, A Few Good Men, Stand By Me) and the biopic follows Johnson’s struggle as the vice president under John F. Kennedy. Of course that all changes after JFK is assassinated.
It's weird to see Harrelson in this role because, as you'll see, he completely transformers himself to become LBJ. It looks like he gives a great performance, but I've got to say that his LBJ makeover is a little distracting because I know it's Harrelson, but it looks nothing like him! Regardless of that, it still looks like a decent movie worth checking out.
“Lyndon Johnson (Woody Harrelson) goes from being a powerful Senate majority leader to a powerless vice president before he becomes the president of the United States following the assassination of John F. Kennedy.”
The film has a great supporting cast that includes Bill Pullman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kim Allen, Michael Mosley, and Doug McKean. LBJ hits theaters on November 3, 2017.
