First Trailer for 'Hidden Figures' About the Women Working at NASA

Written by

“It’s not because we wear skirts, it’s because we wear glasses.” Fox has released a trailer for a film called Hidden Figures, directed by Theodore (Ted) Melfi, a drama about the many African-American women who worked at NASA. The story focuses specifically on three of them, known as “human computers”, who helped worked with NASA in calculating the momentous launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit (in 1962), and guaranteeing his safe return. The full cast includes Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, and Glen Powell, among others. This actually looks pretty damn good, more than anything it’s great to see this story about these wonderful women shown on the big screen with so much attention to detail. Take a look. ›››
