It usually takes more than a week for a full-on trailer to follow up a film's teaser vid, but since yesterday was the 95th birthday of the unconquerable Nelson Mandela himself, The Weinstein Company decided to make an exception. And what a celebration it was.
In the biopic, Idris Elba stars as Nelson Mandela, the South African revolutionary who stood up against an oppressive, divisive government and spent 27 years in prison before being released and later chosen as the nation's first democratically-elected president.
Whereas the teaser for "Mandela" was decidedly optimistic and sort of all's-well-that-ends-well-ish with him romping around a meadow with happy children, this trailer for the Justin Chadwick-directed pic is much grittier and more consequential in nature.
Based on Mandela's own written autobiography of the same name, the film chronicles the Nobel Peace Prize winner's journey from a young village boy onto becoming one of the world's most revered leaders.

Thursday, July 18 was Nelson Mandela’s 95th birthday, and though he’s recently suffered a serious health scare, the former president of South Africa is still with us. It also seems the right day for the Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom trailer, which features Idris Elba playing him. Promising to unspool the story of the man behind the leader we know today, Walk delves into his radical activist past, his frustration with the way South Africa was governed, the crippling apartheid and his own desire to simply see his children live in freedom.Elba has a tough job here – Nelson Mandela is one of the most recognisable figures in the world, and while much of the film appears to take place at a time when the wider world wasn’t awash in news coverage about the man as in his later years, audience preconceptions are inevitable and will need overcoming.

Idris Elba as Nelson Mandela? Sure, why not. I’m reasonably certain Idris Elba can play just about anyone and make it convincing. It’s all in the delivery, isn’t it? And in this first teaser trailer for “The Other Boleyn Girl” director Justin Chadwick’s “Mandela: The Long Walk to Freedom”, it sure sounds like Elba has the delivery down pat. Of course this is just a teaser trailer and there isn’t much here, so it would be nice if we could see more. (And of course I’m assuming that’s actually Elba’s voice we’re hearing, reading something Mandela said, and not actually Mandela. I could be wrong, of course.) A chronicle of Nelson Mandela’s life journey from his childhood in a rural village through to his inauguration as the first democratically elected president of South Africa. Starring Idris Elba, Naomie Harris,...

Man, oh man, we're calling it now: Justin Chadwick's Nelson Mandela biopic, "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom," is just going to own us all.
The first teaser trailer for The Weinstein Company's latest gut-wrencher is in, and as simple and obscure as it is — Idris Elba as the aging South African civil rights hero is shown walking along an open meadow pathway before a group of children start prancing around him — it's also effective at bringing on all the feels.
Mandela, the first democratically elected president of the post-apartheid nation who went onto win the Nobel Peace Prize after being imprisoned for 27 years, is well-known and frequently referenced for his many words of wisdom and bravery ... and this teaser nicely efforts to honor that.
The narrator declares, "I have walked a long walk to freedom. It has been a lonely road, and it is not over yet. No one...
