The Founder Movie Trailer

You may watch below the first official trailer of The Founder, the upcoming drama biography movie directed by John Lee Hancock and starring Michael Keaton, Laura Dern, Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch, Linda Cardellini, Patrick Wilson, and B.J. Novak:


THE FOUNDER
Plot synopsis:
“A drama that tells the true story of how Ray Kroc (Michael Keaton), a salesman from Illinois, met Mac and Dick McDonald, who were running a burger operation in 1950s Southern California. Kroc was impressed by the brothers’ speedy system of making the food and saw franchise potential. He maneuvered himself into a position to be able to pull the company from the brothers and create a billion-dollar empire.”

Am not fond McDonald’s and their food but this trailer somehow got me excited about seeing the film. I guess it’s because of Michael Keaton whose voice sounds like old Batman (and yep, he used wear the Dark Knight’s spandex suit back in the day).

What about you? Impatient to see the film?

The film will open in theaters on January 20, 2017.

“A young man arrives in Hollywood during the 1930s hoping to work in the film industry. There, he falls in love, and finds himself swept up in the vibrant cafĂ© society that defined the spirit of the age.”
