Young Washington goes for an origin-story angle, focusing on George Washington before the American Revolution rather than treating him as a finished icon. The trailer pushes war, duty and inexperience, with the film pitched as a formative chapter rather than a standard prestige biopic.
Ben Kingsley, Kelsey Grammer and Mary-Louise Parker lead the cast, while Angel and Wonder Project are clearly aiming at the run-up to the US 250th anniversary.
Young Washington launches on July 3 in theatres.
