Your support makes all the difference.A new trailer for Neil Armstrong biopic First Man starring Ryan Gosling has rocketed in.
Whiplash director Damien Chazelle's new “stirring” film will guide audiences through the astronaut's tumultuous journey into space on the Apollo 11 space flight.
Gosling's lead performance is already being touted for awards success with The Crown star Claire Foy co-starring as his wife Janet Shearon who'll take centre stage in the scenes set on Earth.
“This isn’t just another trip, Neil,” she can be seen telling her husband at one stage in the trailer. “You’re not just going to work.”
The film has earned rave reviews at both Venice and Toronto's film festivals. First Man is being dubbed a Right Stuff-style marvel that will likely see Whiplash director Chazelle - who became the youngest person to ever win Best Director at the Oscars in 2017 - and Gosling earn further acclaim following 2017 musical La La Land.
First Man also stars Corey Stoll, Kyle Chandler and Pablo Schreiber and will be released in the UK on 12 October.
