The King’s Speech theatrical trailer
Link #56
Finally! The theatrical trailer for “The King’s Speech” starring Colin Firth as King Geroge VI and Geoffrey Rush as Lionel Logue, the royal eccentric speech therapist. I noticed one line was slightly changed from the movie ;) Just watching this gets me on the edge of my seat. Can’t wait to see it again. For details about the movie’s gala premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, listen to episode 95 of my podcast.
International trailer released in October 2010:
