On Monday Focus Features released the first trailer for Race, an upcoming biopic about Jesse Owens starring Stephan James, Jason Sudeikis, William Hurt and Jeremy Irons.

The film looks pretty strong, appearing to center around Owens’ decision to attend the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin. I’m a little nervous about Sudeikis — he’s a gifted comedian and improviser but I don’t know if this is the role for him? I go in with an open mind, however, and will certainly be giving the film a shot.
