#TRAILERCHEST: A powerfully emotional true story of racism in America… from the director of Dumb & Dumber?

To be honest, it looks absolutely brilliant to us.

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we're taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for Green Book. Plot's it all about? A working-class Italian-American bouncer (Mortensen - The Lord Of The Rings, A History Of Violence) becomes the driver of an African-American classical pianist (Ali - Moonlight, House Of Cards) on a tour of venues through the 1960s American South. It's based on a true story of the burgeoning friendship between these two men, and just looking at the trailer, we'd say they're both in with a fantastic shot of winning an Academy Award, but they'll need to decide who should go for leading, and who should go for supporting! Ali has already won Best Supporting Actor, while Mortensen has been nominated twice for Best Actor In A Leading Role (Captain Fantastic and Eastern Promises), so it'll be a tough call. Although the real surprise here is that the movie is directed and co-written by Peter Farrelly, one half of the duo behind Dumn & Dumber and There's Something About Mary! Talk about a career redirection... The Oscar race has officially begun. Starring: Mahershala Ali, Viggo Mortensen, Linda Cardellini Directed by: Peter Farrelly Irish release date: 8 February 2019 Enjoy! Clip via Movieclips Trailers
