Today we have the first teaser trailer for Phyllida Lloyd‘s The Iron Lady, starring Meryl Streep as Britain’s first female Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
Based on a script by Abi Morgan, The Iron Lady tells the story of “a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and insightful portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.”
The Iron Lady co-stars Jim Broadbent as Thatcher’s husband Denis, Anthony Head as her longest-serving cabinet member Geoffrey Howe, Richard E. Grant as conservative politician Michael Heseltine, and Roger Allam has political strategist Gordon Reece.
The Iron Lady is out on December 16th, 2011. [source: HeyUGuys]
