Selma is already being tipped as one of the biopic movies not to miss in 2015, and the brand new UK trailer for the film has arrived.

Selma is one of the movies that I am personally looking forward to as David Oyelowo takes on the role of Martin Luthur King Jr, in a performance that is winning over the critics.

The movie sees Oyelowo team up with filmmaker Ava DuVernay, as she returns to the director's chair for her first film since Middle of Nowhere back in 2010.

The brand new UK trailer for the film has arrived, and we have it for you to take a look at:

Oyelowo is joined by a great cast, as Giovanni Ribisi, Tim Roth, Alessandro Nivola, Martin Sheen, Cuba Gooding Jr, and Tom Wilkinson are just some of the great names on board.

The film 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.

There are a whole host of high profile and exciting biopic movies that we are going to be treated to heading into 2015, and Selma is one to watch and one that could find itself in the awards mix.

Selma is released 6th February 2015.
