Steve McQueen’s got a new movie coming out, and it looks just as riveting and powerful as his previous efforts, “Hunger” and “Shame.” Today, the first trailer for “12 Years a Slave”, which features the third collaboration between McQueen and Michael Fassbender, has been released, and it’s clearly going to be a major player during this year’s Oscar season.

Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the titular “slave”, Solomon Northrup, a free-born son of a farmer who is kidnapped and sold into slavery. Fassbender turns villainous here as an abusive slave owner, while Brad Pitt plays Solomon’s family’s lawyer, who seek to free him after receiving word of his capture. The film is based on Northrup’s autobiography of the same name, and the rest of the all-star cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Giamatti, Paul Dano, Adepero Oduye, Ruth Negga, Alfre Woodard, Dwight Henry, Quvenzhane Wallis, Lupita Nyongo, Scoot McNairy and Michael K Williams.

“12 Years a Slave’ will be released on October 18th, moved up two months from an initial December release after “exuberant test screenings.”
