The First Pride Trailer And Poster Have Arrived

Here's a heart-warming tale: in 1984, a group of activists at the annual Gay Pride march are moved to raise money to help the families of striking miners. So far, so charitable - but some of the conservative miners are taken aback by the source of the donations and balk at the generosity. Not to be deterred, the activists head off to a small Welsh village to hand over their bounty in person, and the two groups find some surprising things in common. It's all told in Matthew Warchus' film Pride, and here's the new poster.

As you can see, Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton and Paddy Considine lead the cast, along with Dominic West, George McKay and Andrew Scott. Yes, that is Bill Nighy, somehow looking entirely different to normal simply by dint of slicking down his hair. Go figure.

Pride comes from director Matthew Warchus, who's about to take over from Kevin Spacey as artistic director of the Old Vic theatre after a stage directing career that has seen him turn Roald Dahl's Matilda into a smash hit. It hits UK screens on September 12 and has a new trailer you can catch below.
