Following it's People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival, The King's Speech trailer has now turned up online.
Directed by Tom Hooper, it stars Colin Firth as King George VI, who reluctantly takes the throne when his brother Edward abdicates. But he has a problem: a stutter. Considered unfit for the job, he takes on a speech therapist to help him find his voice before leading the country to war.
Also starring Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush, Guy Pearce, Timothy Spall and Michael Gambon, Hooper's historical drama has got itself a massive amount of buzz as awards season looms. Judging by the trailer, it's not far off the mark. At the very least, Colin Firth's performance will easily earn a nomination.
The King's Speech comes out in the UK next January and will be showing at the London Film Festival. Check out the trailer over at Yahoo! or read on for the video.
