Trailer for Don Shirley Biopic Green Book, Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen
The trailer has dropped for Green Book, an upcoming comedy-drama focusing on the odd couple relationship between jazz pianist Don Shirley (Moonlight's Mahershala Ali) and New York nightclub bouncer Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen, Lord of the Rings).
Inspired by a true story, the film sees the black Shirley hire Lip as a chauffeur and protection as he embarked on a tour of the deep south of the US.
The movie is from Peter Farrelly, a change in pace for the filmmaker who previously directed slapstick comedies such as Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary and Shallow Hal with his brother Bobby.
