Felicity Jones in Powerful International Trailer for 'On the Basis of Sex'

"You must see the opportunity this case represents! For men and women, both." Entertainment One UK has revealed an international trailer for On the Basis of Sex, the gripping film about the early days of iconic Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Felicity Jones plays RBG, and Armie Hammer plays her husband Marty, in a new film by director Mimi Leder (of The Peacemaker, Deep Impact, Pay It Forward). This film is a compliment to the documentary about her, titled simply RBG now playing in theaters. The full cast also features Justin Theroux, Cailee Spaeny, Kathy Bates, Stephen Root, Jack Reynor, Sam Waterston, and Francis X. McCarthy. Focus will be releasing On the Basis of Sex in theaters nationwide on Christmas Day, a strong reminder of how important equality and a female voice is in the Supreme Court.

On the Basis of Sex is directed by American filmmaker Mimi Leder, a veteran producer and director of the films The Peacemaker, Deep Impact, Pay It Forward, and Thick as Thieves previously.
