Netflix has released the trailer for the highly anticipated new movie The Trial of the Chicago 7!

The movie based on a true story, directed and written by Aaron Sorkin, will be released on October 16.

Here’s the synopsis: “What was intended to be a peaceful protest at the 1968 Democratic National Convention turned into a violent clash with police and the National Guard. The organizers of the protest – including Abbie Hoffman (Sacha Baron Cohen), Jerry Rubin (Jeremy Strong), Tom Hayden (Eddie Redmayne) and Bobby Seale (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) – were charged with conspiracy to incite a riot and the trial that followed was one of the most notorious in history.”

The film also stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Keaton, Frank Langella, John Carroll Lynch, Mark Rylance, Alex Sharp, Noah Robbins, Danny Flaherty, Ben Shenkman, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Caitlin Fitzgerald, Alice Kremelberg, John Doman, J.C. MacKenzie, Damien Young, Wayne Duvall, and C.J. Wilson.

Charlie Plummer and Nicholas Galitzine walk the carpet at the premiere of their new movie Share during the 2019 Sundance Film Festival on Friday (January 25) at the Library Center Theater in Park City, Utah.

The guys were joined at the event by their co-stars, newcomer Rhianne Barreto, as well as Poorna Jagannathan, J.C. MacKenzie, and Lovie Simone. The film’s writer and director Pippa Bianco was also in attendance.

Here is the movie’s synopsis: “After discovering a disturbing video from a night she doesn’t remember, sixteen-year-old Mandy must try to figure out what happened and how to navigate the escalating fallout.”

Nicholas praised the movie on his Instagram account the next day. He wrote, “The screening of SHARE was a joy, if not a little hard to endure. @rhiannebarreto’s performance as Mandy is something special and @aberkofsky ‘s cinematography manages to be claustrophobic yet stylish. Congratulations @pippabianco for helming such a potentially groundbreaking project. You truly are a master of your field and i hope to be able to work with you again in the future. Everyone involved in this project poured their souls into this and I think that is visible in every frame.”
