Based on the 1987 stage play about a father in the 1950s dealing with race relations.
 
Wasn't he in the stage version of this as well? James Earl Jones was pretty much perfect in this back then.
 
Yep he was same as Viola. it was a hit in theaters so they decided to go and make a big screen version of it.
 
Wow. Such powerful performances and that was just a teaser.
 
I have the script for this play but I never got around to reading it.
 
Holy f*** this looks good. I tell you boy, nobody brings it like Denzel when he wants to.
 
This is how you make a trailer. It's perfect. Says almost nothing about the story, yet I'm really intrigued by it, and want to see more of it right now. Looks great.
 
I don't like Washington at all. He is the same in each movie (expectation is Glory where he was amazing).

But this looks promising. We will see.
 
Vilola with the category fraud and just when Michelle Williams thought she had BSA in the bag for 'Manchester By The Sea'. :funny:

‘Fences’ Viola Davis Will Campaign For The Best Supporting Actress Oscar http://dlvr.it/MW9nYF
 
I just found out about this and Manchester by the Sea. Looking forward to seeing both of these movies.

Best Actress is going to be competetive as **** this year.
 
Viola Davis will campaign in Supporting.

Even without her it's stacked like it hasn't been for a while. These are all the actresses who have a legit chance of nomination and deserve to be in it from all the reviews and those who have watched the movies.

Emma Stone
Natalie Portman
Amy Adams
Annette Benning
Ruth Negga
Meryl Streep
Viola Davis (Had she gone Lead)
Jessica Chastain
 
Not going to lie, I thought the title of this thread said Denzel Washington in Feces at first glance.

Anyway, this movie looks amazing.

Yeah, at this point I am still going with Emma Stone for the Oscar, but Portman will give her run for her money.

As for Fences. Washington is a sure thing (for a nomination), as well as Davis.

Denzel will have tought competition, but who knows. Viola is frontrunner, but I still think Naomie Harris will pick up steam for Moonlight.

That's the movie he's been trying to conceal for years. Not his best work.
 
I can't wait for this. I actually had the pleasure of seeing Denzel and Viola Davis perform this for the Broadway revival back in 2010 and they obviously killed it.
 
I remember this play from college. I had to perform a monologue from it. Nice to see it's getting the big screen treatment.
