First Look: Emperor Movie Trailer

Tommy Lee Jones goes on a hunt for the truth in Emperor, a dramatic film based on true events. Directed by Peter Webber and set for release on March 8, 2013, the film also features Matthew Fox (Lost) and Eriko Hatsune.

The Plot:

Emperor brings to life the American occupation of Japan in the perilous and unpredictable days just after Emperor Hirohito’s World War II surrender. As General Douglas MacArthur (Jones) suddenly finds himself the de facto ruler of a foreign nation, he assigns an expert in Japanese culture – General Bonner Fellers (Fox), to covertly investigate the looming question hanging over the country: should the Japanese Emperor, worshiped by his people but accused of war crimes, be punished or saved?
