Looking ahead: A '42' preview
The trailer for Jackie Robinson movie "42," starring Chadwick Boseman with Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey, was released today.
There's not much you can draw from this snapshot other than the look of the movie and the understanding that it's going to hit the major bullet points of Robinson's life. I'll be curious to see if "42" can find new insights in Robinson's critically important but familiar story.
The movie opens April 12, three days shy of the 66th anniversary of Robinson's debut in the majors.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
