Here’s a short clip from Steve McQueen’s much-ballyhooed 12 Years A Slave featuring star Chiwetel Ejiofor, in one of a few “flashback” sequences in the film, as a free Solomon and his family (Kelsey Scott, Quvenzhané Wallis, and Cameron Zeigler) go on a little shopping trip, and, well, just watch the clip below…
Fox Searchlight will open 12 Years A Slave theatrically on October 18, in a limited roll-out and will then expand nationwide in successive weeks.
The R-rated slave narrative, McQueen’s 3rd feature, boasts an impressive cast of actors, including: Chiwetel Ejiofor (as Solomon Northup, the star of the film and whose story it tells), Michael Fassbender, Ruth Negga, Adepero Oduye, Alfre Woodard, Lupita Nyong’o, Paul Dano, Benedict Cumberbatch, Scoot McNairy, Garret Dillahunt, Brad Pitt, Michael K. Williams, Paul Giamatti, Sarah Paulson and others.
