12 Years A slave is the title to this film and stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Scoot McNairy, Benedict Cumberbatch, Sarah Paulson, and Alfre Woodard
12 Years A slave is based on a true story of the memoir by Soloman Northup and from the trailer it looks pretty good with its long list of good actors and Hans Zimmer’s score from THE THIN RED LINE stretched through out the trailer.
12 Years A slave hits the big screen on October 18, 2013 and is directed by Steve McQueen, not the actor from the old days.
Plot: 12 Years a Slave is based on the 1853 autobiography of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped in Washington D.C in 1841 and sold into slavery. He worked on plantations in the state of Louisiana for 12 years before his release
