Mr Turner

Mr Turner

Mr Turner is set to hit the big screen tomorrow and is not to be missed as Mike Leigh returns to the director's chair.

Mr Turner is a movie that is already surrounded in Oscar whispers - while Timothy Spall has already won a Best Actor gong for his performance in the central role.

The film was met with acclaim when it premiered in competition for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film festival. The movie may have missed out on the Palme d'Or, but Spall picked up the Best Actor award for his work.

And you can see Spall in action this brand new clip - which has been split into two parts:

Mike Leigh has been behind some great films over the years, such as Vera Drake and Secrets & Lies, but this is his first film since Another Year back in 2010.

Leigh has brought together a terrific cast as Spall is joined by Paul Jesson, Dorothy Atkinson, and Marion Bailey.

Mr Turner is already being tipped as a major Oscar contender - you know how much the Academy loves a biopic. Spall is also expected to be in the mix for his wonderful central performance as Turner.

Mr Turner is released 31st October.
