BBC America has released this new trailer for the upcoming dramatic biopic Burton and Taylor starring Helena Bonham Carter as Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor and Dominic West as Richard Burton. The trailer shows the two actors in the lead roles do have some on screen chemistry, however don’t expect exact look-alikes in either case.
 
The Plot:
 
“The 90-minute drama follows their private and public relationship played out against their ill-fated appearance in a 1983 revival of Noel Coward’s stage play, Private Lives. Burton and Taylor is one of the most fascinating, glamorous and tempestuous relationships of the 20th century – the two most famous movie stars of their day who played out every high and low of their love affairs, multiple marriages and divorces right in the public eye.”
