Jeff Nichols already directed one of Film Junk’s favourite movies of the year so far with the sci-fi thriller Midnight Special, but he’s also got another movie coming out later this year that seems like the kind of thing that might put him on the Academy’s radar. Loving stars Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Preacher) as Richard and Mildred Loving, the real-life interracial couple that fought for their right to be married in the state of Virginia. Their case was eventually taken before the the U.S. Supreme Court in 1967. The movie is partially based on Nancy Buirski’s documentary The Loving Story, and of course, this being a Jeff Nichols film, Michael Shannon also shows up as part of the supporting cast. Loving hits select theatres on Nov. 4th; check out the first trailer after the jump and let us know what you think.
