First Man — New Trailer

added: Tue, Sep 18th '18

Universal Pictures has released a brand-new "First Man" trailer, which features an excerpt from John F. Kennedy's famous "We choose to go to the Moon" speech, and it ends with Neil Armstrong's historic moon-landing statement: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

Already being viewed as one of the front-runners for the Oscars, "First Man" stars Ryan Gosling as famed Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong and co-stars recent Emmy-winner Claire Foy (The Crown) as his wife, Janet.

The film, directed by Oscar-winning "La La Land" filmmaker Damien Chazelle and written by Oscar-winning "Spotlight" screenwriter Josh Singer, follows the events that led up to the 1969 moon landing, in which Armstrong became the first man to ever walk on the moon.

The film is also charting Armstrong's years working on NASA's Apollo program, which begun with several failed tests and tragic deaths.

Based on Armstrong's official biography by James R. Hansen, "First Man" is hitting theaters October 12th.
