If you missed your first chance, now you can catch up on ‘Marshall’ as it came back to theaters nationwide yesterday.
Marshall, critically acclaimed production from Open Road Films/Global Road Entertainment is returning to the big screen. Members of AMPAS, PGA, WGA, DGA and SAG Nominating Committee will be admitted with a guest to select showings with valid membership card.
The film, starring Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Kate Hudson, Sterling K. Brown, Dan Stevens and James Cromwell, received eight NAACP Image Award nominations as well as GRAMMY nomination for “Stand Up For Something.”
Marshall is based on an early trial in the career of Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. It follows the young lawyer (Chadwick Boseman) to conservative Connecticut to defend a black chauffeur (Sterling K. Brown) charged with sexual assault and attempted murder of his white socialite employer (Kate Hudson). Muzzled by a segregationist court, Marshall partners with a courageous young Jewish lawyer, Samuel Friedman (Josh Gad). Together they mount the defense in an environment of racism and Anti-Semitism. The high profile case and the partnership with Friedman served as a template for Marshall’s creation of the NAACP legal defense fund.
