One take on the life story of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has already been rocking the box office charts across the pond, as documentary RBG does well. But not everyone wants to watch documentaries, so the law crusader will also be coming to screens in biopic form for On The Basis Of Sex. The first trailer for the film has arrived.
Felicity Jones is back on real-life story duty here, playing Ginsburg during one of the most formative, combative and chaotic times of her life. Ginsburg teamed up with husband Marty (Armie Hammer) to bring the first landmark gender discrimination case before the Supreme Court, standing up to years of stony authority and backwards thinking, while those around them worried that the case would set the women's movement back a decade.
Mimi Leder directs here, with a script by Daniel Stiepleman, who happens to be Ginsburg's nephew. The likes of Justin Theroux, Kathy Bates and Sam Waterston fill out the cast for the film, which will be out on 25 December in the States and arrives on 8 February next year in Britain.
