Ecco le prime immagini del nuovo film di Steve McQueen, 12 Years a Slave, che raccont ala storia di Solomon Northup, un uomo libero imbrogliato, catturato e venduto come schiavo.
Il protegonista è Chiwetel Ejiofor, accanto a lui Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Sarah Paulson e Alfre Woodard.
Ci saranno anche i due protagonisti di Re delle terre selvagge: Dwight Henry e Quvenzhane Wallis.
“Without Brad, this film wouldn’t have been made. Fact,” ha detto McQueen “Just his presence sometimes could lift everyone’s mood. It’s like having a great ballplayer on a team. He doesn’t have to play a big role, but his presence can lift everyone’s game.”
“He goes through an extraordinary ordeal, a very painful, brutal experience, and found a kind of redemption on the other side of it. [It’s one] that no one’s ever seen before, and that’s saying something.”
La Fox Searchlight lo distribuirà a partire dal 27 dicembre 2013.
