Fox Searchlight has released the first trailer to Amma Asante<\/strong>‘s ‘Belle<\/strong>,’ starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw i<\/strong>n the lead role.<\/p>\n

Slated for a May 2, 2014 release, the period drama also stars Miranda Richardson, Tom Wilkinson, Sarah Gadon, Tom Felton<\/strong>, and Matthew Goode<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is inspired by the true story of Dido Elizabeth Belle (Mbatha-Raw), the illegitimate mixed race daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral.<\/p>\n

Raised by her aristocratic great-uncle Lord Mansfield (Wilkinson) and his wife (Watson), Belle\u2019s lineage affords her certain privileges, yet the color of her skin prevents her from fully participating in the traditions of her social standing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Left to wonder if she will ever find love, Belle falls for an idealistic young vicar\u2019s son bent on change who, with her help, shapes Lord Mansfield\u2019s role as Lord Chief Justice to end slavery in England.<\/p>\n

Damian Jones (The Iron Lady) produces. Misan Sagay is the credited writer on the project (both story and screenplay.)<\/p>\n
