New Trailer For Hidden Figures

 

Adapted from Margot Lee Shetterly’s novel, Theodore Melfi’s drama Hidden Figures has aligned itself with an awards-friendly January release, and today brings forth the extended new trailer to cast light on those unsung heroes.

Battling institutionalized racism and gender inequality, Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe are on board as the marginalized geniuses. Just recently, the former chatted to Empire about her character, Katherine Johnson: “Today’s society would call Katherine a nerd or a geek. But she’s a genius. Sometimes when you know a lot, you don’t say a lot.”

Orchestrating one of the greatest operations in history, it’s little wonder why Theodore Melfi’s space biopic has found itself smack bang in the middle of Oscar territory. Blending true-life drama with a commanding cast, our only concern is that, much like its predecessor, this new trailer leaves little to the imagination.

Hidden Figures, also starring Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst and Jim Parsons, will be cleared for launch on January 13, 2017.
