First trailer for Armando Iannucci’s The Death of Stalin

August 11, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Following a poster earlier in the week [check it out here], the first trailer has debuted for Armando Iannucci’s upcoming adaptation of the 2011 graphic novel The Death of Stalin, which features an ensemble cast that includes Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin, Jeffrey Tambor, Jason Isaacs, Rupert Friend, Simon Russell Beale, Andrea Riseborough, Paddy Considine, and Olga Kurylenko; watch it below…

The internal political landscape of 1950’s Soviet Russia takes on darkly comic form in a new film by Emmy award-winning and Oscar-nominated writer/director Armando Iannucci.

In the days following Stalin’s collapse, his core team of ministers tussle for control; some want positive change in the Soviet Union, others have more sinister motives. Their one common trait? They’re all just desperately trying to remain alive.

The Death of Stalin is set for release on October 20th.
