In celebration of Nelson Mandela’s 95th birthday yesterday, a brand new trailer for MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM was released online. In this new trailer, we see a much more detailed look at Idris Elba as Mandela, and now we can see why there is so much Oscar hype behind it!
Based on Mandela’s autobiography, LONG WALK TO FREEDOM follows Nelson Mandela from childhood up to his election of President of South Africa. Naomie Harris will play his wife Winnie.
The Weinstein Co. already screened parts of the film for the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday as part of celebrations of Nelson Mandela International Day. But for us normal folk, MANDELA: LONG WALK TO FREEDOM will be released in the US November 29th (in time for the Oscar nominations!) and will get a limited UK run in January.
Check out the trailer below:
