Trailer released for Chadwick Boseman's final film "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom"

Netflix has unveiled the trailer for the late actor Chadwick Boseman's final movie Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
 
The Black Panther star, who died in August at the age of 43, has already been tipped as a contender for a posthumous Oscar for his performance in the film.
 
The August Wilson adaptation tells the story of "Mother of the Blues" Ma Rainey, played by Viola Davis, and her battle for control with her white producer, while recording an album at the end of her career.
 
Boseman plays ambitious trumpeter Levee.
 
The film is produced by Denzel Washington, who previously directed and starred in Wilson's adaptation of Fences, which saw Davis win her first Oscar.
 
This year also saw Boseman star in Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, a role that could also see him receive a posthumous best supporting actor nomination.
 
Ma Rainey's Black Bottom will be released in selected cinemas in November before its Netflix launch in December.
