While Spike Lee didn’t get a chance to direct it, I’m sure he’s proud nonetheless. Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures recently released a second, longer trailer for its upcoming Jackie Robinson biopic, titled “42″.
If you had a chance to peep the first trailer in September, you would remember that it just highlighted Jackie’s legendary status. This trailer focuses more on the racial tension Jackie faced as the first black Major League Baseball player after he signed with the then Brooklyn Dodgers
Chadwick Boseman stars as Jackie, while actiing legend Harrison Ford plays Branch Rickey, the General Manager who signed Robinson. “42” hits theaters April 12.
