Seeing as it’s a historical drama, it deals with issues of race, it covers the ups and downs of the life of an iconic figure who suffered immensely, and it seems to feature a showy lead performance from a well-respected actor (Idris Elba), director Justin Chadwick’s (The Other Boleyn Girl) upcoming Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is just about the biggest piece of Oscar bait that’s come down the pike in a long time. But seeing as Nelson Mandela’s life makes for such a captivating story, and Elba is such a strong actor, it looks like it’s also probably going to be a pretty dang good movie. Now that a full-length trailer has dropped, you should probably take the opportunity to give it a look and see what the film has to offer for yourself.
