Meryl Streep Is THE IRON LADY In UK Trailer

Due in theaters December 30, 2011 for an Oscar qualifying run, watch the United Kingdom trailer for THE IRON LADY. Having the British, “Our House” (1982) by Madness, underneath is a nice touch.

Doesn’t that give you chills? Streep is brilliant as usual (when isn’t she?) and will see another nomination. But enough of the “actress of our generation” rhetoric. A film about Thatcher – one of my heroes, now thats my cuppa tea.

THE IRON LADY is a surprising and intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), the first and only female Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. One of the 20th century’s most famous and influential women, Thatcher came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world.

The film stars Academy Award-winners Meryl Streep as Lady Thatcher and Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher. Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd will play the younger Thatchers. The British cast includes Olivia Colman, Nicholas Farrell, Susan Brown, Roger Allam, Anthony Head, Julian Wadham, Pip Torrens, Nick Dunning, Richard E Grant, David Westhead, Angus Wright and John Sessions.

THE IRON LADY opens in the U.S. on December 16th by the Weinstein Co. and in the U.K. on January 6, 2012 by Pathe.
