An all-star cast has been assembled to for Paramount’s powerful re-telling of one of Martin Luther King Jr‘s most noble and notable deeds.

Led by critically acclaimed actor David Oyelowo, who plays the iconic civil rights leader, the movie tracks King’s struggle to secure voting rights for all people, culminating in the Alabama march from Selma to Montgomery and President Lyndon Johnson’s signing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Oprah Winfrey and Cuba Gooding Jr also star in the picture, which is set for a limited release on Christmas Day and a mainstream push from January 9th next year.
