Moviefone has posted a new clip from Lee Daniels‘ historical drama The Butler, which stars Forest Whitaker, Oprah Winfrey, David Oyelowo, Jane Fonda, Lenny Kravitz, Cuba Gooding Jr., Liev Schreiber, Alex Pettyfer, John Cusack, Robin Williams, James Marsden, Alan Rickman, Terrence Howard, Minka Kelly, Jesse Williams, Melissa Leo, Vanessa Redgrave, Nelsan Ellis, Mariah Carey, and Yaya DaCosta.
The Butler is inspired by Wil Haygood’s Washington Post article about an African-American man who served as a butler (Whitaker) to eight Presidents in the White House for over thirty years. From this unique vantage point, the film traces the dramatic changes that swept American society, from the civil rights movement to Vietnam and beyond, and how those changes affected this man’s life and family.
The film opens on August 16, 2013.
