The official trailer for "Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom" has hit the web, and its pace is far different than the upcoming film's previously released teaser.
The full-length trailer depicts Mandela ("Pacific Rim's" Idris Elba) as a wanted man, an outlaw and even, a playboy. In the two minute, 31-second video, Mandela meets his wife (Naomie Harris), the nation's first black social worker, preaches peace and non-violence, but oversees plenty of actual violence as well.
