Filmmaker Lee Daniels (Precious, The Paperboy) is looking to once again captivate audiences with his latest offering The Butler staring Oscar winner Forest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines, a proud butler of seven U.S. presidents during America’s most historical eras. The film stars a slue of well known and prominent actors including Oprah Winfrey, Terrence Howard, Robin Williams, John Cusack, Jane Fonda, James Marsden, and Alan Rickman. The trailer looks very promising as the film’s director assures it won’t have the shock tricks like Precious but plays through history likeĀ Forrest GumpĀ did. Preview the movie below.
