'42' Jackie Robinson Biopic Trailer Premieres

So the television trailer for 42, a biopic about Jackie Robinson, premiered a few days ago. (Well, that's when we first saw it so please forgive us if we are a little slow when it comes to t.v.) At first glance, we wondered what in the heck Jay-Z has to do with Jackie Robinson. But we forgive the soundtrack because the trailer looked pretty good. The costumes and sets looked great and the storyline did not look to be sugar-coated. The cast includes Chadwick Boseman as Robinson, Harrison Ford, and Christopher Meloni. And of course, who didn't love Nicole Beharie in American Violet? She will star as Robinson's wife, Rachel. The film is directed by Oscar winner Brian Helgeland and hits theaters on April 12. We're excited.
