Oprah Winfrey is set to return to the big screen at the beginning of February in Selma and she features in a brand new clip for the film.
Selma
This is the first film for Winfrey since she won over the critics with The Butler, and now she is set to do the same again as she takes on the role of Annie Lee Cooper in this biopic about Martin Luther King.
See Winfrey in action in this brand new clip for the film:
Selma tracks a dangerous and terrifying three month campaign led by Martin Luther King Jr. which culminated in the epic march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama.
The campaign galvanized American public opinion and persuaded President Johnson to introduce the Voting Rights Act, protecting Africa-Americans' right to vote.
David Oyelowo will take on the role of King, while Cuba Gooding Jr, Tim Roth, Giovanni Ribisi, Carmen Ejogo, and Tom Wilkinson will join the British actor and Winfrey on the cast list.
Selma is released 6th February.
