Entertainment One has released the first trailer for the upcoming biopic Stan & Ollie, which stars Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the legendary comic dup Laurel and Hardy. The film is directed by Jon S. Baird (Cass, Filth) and also stars Shirley Henderson and Nina Arianda.
Stan & Ollie will be opening in the UK January 11, 2019.
The true story of Hollywood’s greatest comedy double act, Laurel and Hardy, is brought to the big screen for the first time. Starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as the legendary movie icons, Stan & Ollie is the heart-warming story of what would become the pair’s triumphant farewell tour.
With their golden era long behind them, the pair embark on a variety hall tour of Britain and Ireland. Despite the pressures of a hectic schedule, and with the support of their wives Lucille (Shirley Henderson) and Ida (Nina Arianda) – a formidable double act in their own right – the pair’s love of performing, as well as for each other, endures as they secure their place in the hearts of their adoring public.
