Roland Emmerich’s new LGBT film Stonewall (yes, the guy behind Independence Day and 2012), has its first trailer.
Jeremy Irvine stars as Danny Winters, a young man who flees his family to New York City in 1969. Becoming a part of a local LGBT scene, he struggles with police corruption and oppression. He inevitably becomes a part of the Stonewall Riots, a violent clash between the gay community and police. The riots are considered to be the single most important event of the gay liberation movement.
Jon Robin Baitz penned the script, and stars also include Joey King (The Conjuring), Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy) and Jonathan Rhys Meyers (Mission: Impossible III).
Stonewall will head to the Toronto International Film Festival next month, before it’s released on September 25th in the US (worldwide release dates are yet to be announced).
