Helgeland’s upcoming Jackie Robinson biopic 42 has been gathering pace and already given us quite a lot of posters, but now we’ve got a whole selection of new stills to share with THN readers.
Forgive me regarding any baseball puns because I know nothing about the sport, and I still find it amusing that you play the World Series and you’re the only country involved, but in 42 there’s important things at stake and to be shared. Robinson’s place in history is majorly important as this fact-based film concentrates on the early shame of racism in the sport but also, the tremendous role that he played in how he broke the colour barrier for black players to cross into the Major League in 1947.
I still think film can be underrated in bringing vital stories to the mainstream, so I’m very interested by this. 42 is released in the UK on September 13th:
