Fresh off the announcement that there will be 10 Best Picture nominees next year, the trailer for Amelia, a serious contender for such recognition, has landed online.
The Fox Searchlight release focuses on the life of female aviator Amelia Earhart, who is played by Hilary Swank. The actress has been nominated twice for Best Actress— Boy's Don't Cry and Million Dollar Baby —and she won both times. Amelia also stars Richard Gere, Ewan McGreggor and Virginia Madsen.
This won't be the first time this year that Earhart has appeared in a mainstream film. Amy Adams played a resurrected museum statue of the pilot in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, which has grossed $159 million domestically.
Amelia is set to hit theaters on October 23.
