It’s been a long time coming, but there is finally a trailer for The Butler, Lee Daniels’s presumably urination-free follow-up to The Paperboy. After weeks of unsatisfying hints, we can finally see footage of everyone doing their best famous-people impressions (Robin Williams’s Eisenhower! John Cusack’s Nixon! James Marsden’s JFK!) Out October 18, The Butler is about the life of former White House butler Eugene Allen (Forest Whitaker) and is based on a 2008 piece from the Washington Post. You know the movie’s gotta be good (or bad-good, at least) if they’ve got Mariah Carey on the cast list and she’s not even in the trailer.
