You know the story. You’re probably going to see this or not. So what are you pressing play on the trailer for? To see Idris Elba just totally living in the role of Nelson Mandela, that’s what. Penned by Gladiator and Les Misérables screenwriter William Nicholson and directed by The Other Boleyn Girl’s Justin Chadwick, it’s bound to get Elba some award show love. If you’ll have a hard time waiting till Nov. 29, the movie is based on Mandela’s 1994 autobiography, so you could read that.
