“The whole world is watching…”
The trailer for Aaron Sorkin’s drama The Trial of the Chicago 7 is here, and right out of the gate you know that if his name is attached to the project, it will be worth watching. Sorkin is a supreme talent as a screenwriter, delivering films like A Few Good Men, The Social Network, Moneyball, and more recently Molly’s Game, just to name a few, but this will be only the 2nd time he has directed as well.

The film includes a talented cast including Sacha Baron Cohen in a rare dramatic role, as well as Eddie Redmayne, Jeremy Strong, Mark Rylance, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
