Ticket Stub's Trailer Tuesday this week is the widely anticipated, 12 Years a Slave.
12 Years a Slave is based on the true story of Solomon Northup. The well-educated man from Saratoga Springs, NY was born a free black man until he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in 1841.
Directed by Steve McQueen, the film has achieved critical acclaim since its world premiere at the 40th Telluride Film Festival earlier this summer. Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays Northup, has already been tipped for Oscar glory. Other cast members include Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt and Benedict Cumberbatch whilst also debuting new performances by the likes of Lupita Nyong'o.
The film has been on a limited release across the US and is steadily notching up big figures at the box office. We still have a while to wait here though, as the film is not due out in the UK until January 24th 2014. But for now, enjoy the trailer. It looks to be a very moving story showing the struggles of holding on to humanity in a world of extreme cruelty and suffering.
