The Greatest Showman

The biopic of P. T Barnum, the godfather of the modern circus, recently released his trailer. The film will debut at Christmas.

Starring Hugh Jackman as P. T. Barnum and Michelle Williams as his wife Charity, the production directed by Michael Gracey, is based on the life of the circus who is considered the founder of the modern circus. Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya and Zac Efron are also part of this story that mixes biographical elements with music, dance and acrobatics.

According to Entertainment Weekly reports, the production took seven years of development and planning: “Until La laland, everyone said there had not been a great musical in 23 years. So the predominant thought in Hollywood was that, unless a lot of people already know, it’s not something definitive. That’s why it took a long time, “said Hugh Jackman.
