Paramount Pictures has just released the teaser trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of Fences, starring Denzel Washington and Viola Davis. View trailer below.
Working at a bookstore, I’ve seen many teenagers come in an ask for August Wilson’s Fences as required reading for school (mostly for summer reading). Personally, I never have read the book, but given that the school system near me are requiring, I might have to check out the book. As for the movie, it looks pretty good, giving Denzel Washington a great and powerful monologue. As I said in my review for The Magnificent Seven, Washington (in general) commands his theatrical performances in his various films and seems to do so in this movie. Definitely gonna check this movie. Heck, Denzel is directing this movie…..pretty cool!
Fences is to be released on December 25th (Christmas Day), 2016
