What is that we hear? Why, it's the sound of a million Oscars, judging by the credit list sequence at the end of the new trailer for the upcoming drama "The Butler". (Trailer Below)
The cast list, Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, Cuba Gooding Jr. Robin Williams, Alan Rickman, Jane Fonda, John Cusack, the list goes on, is definitely the reason for those sounds of a million Oscars that we hear, but whether the film will be as successful in that department as it's stellar casting, is another issue.
The film which follows the career of a White House butler (Whitaker) as he serves through eight Presidencies over 34 years is released August 16th in the US.
Is this another "Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close"? A film that, although a good one, has been solely designed and manufactured in such a way that it is sure for success during awards season? Or is it simply such a powerful and amazing script, that the worlds most incredible actors have leapt in for a piece of such a wonderful project.
Only time will tell, we enjoyed the trailer and look forward to reviewing "The Butler" in the near future.
