Movie Trailer for Denzel Washington’s ‘The Great Debaters’ opening this Christmas
It looks like we’ll be treated to two movies with Denzel Washington this year! Washington will be directing and starring in “The Great Debaters” this Christmas (12/25/2007). It looks like another cool and inspiring film. It has similar elements of the traditional true story underdog sports movie with racial tension, but instead of a sports team it’s a debate team. Now that’s cool. Did I mention Denzel Washington stars and directs? Plus, Jurnee Smollet from the Cosby and Full House is in it. You remember, right? That cute little kid with curly hair…no? Well, she is, and she’s all grown up now.
