New Trailer for THE IRON LADY Is All Woman and No Controversy

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: December 7th, 2011 at 1:14 pm

The Weinstein Company has released a new trailer for Phyllida Lloyd‘s Margaret Thatcher biopic The Iron Lady.  Judging by the trailer, the movie is about the former British Prime Minister’s iron will to be a powerful woman in a man’s world.  In between, she kind of did some politics, but seriously: HEAR HER ROAR. The trailer briefly mentions her involvement in the Falklands War, but only to highlight that she’s been to battle too.  Not ones involving blood and bullets and death, but political and social ones which are just as bad if not worse.  Meryl Streep‘s performance will likely dominate all other aspects of the film, but hopefully the story is more than just how one woman broke through the glass ceiling (even though Thatcher remains the only female British Prime Minister in history).

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars Jim Broadbent and Richard E. Grant.  The Iron Lady opens December 16th.

New Trailer for JACKBOOTS ON WHITEHALL Features Ewan McGregor, Tom Wilkinson, and Nazi Puppets

What do you get when you cross Inglourious Basterds with Team America: World Police?  Ewan McGregor, apparently.  At least, the makers of Jackboots on Whitehall were able to convince the very pretty actor — as well as Alan Cumming, Timothy Spall, Richard E. Grant, and Tom Wilkinson — to comprise the voice cast for their puppet-laden satire of World War II.  I don’t know how funny the trailer actually is beyond the inherent absurdity, but if you like the idea of an effete Hitler voiced by Alan Cumming, it’s probably worth a look.  Check it out alongside a plot synopsis after the jump.
