The Greatest Showman: New Trailer, Poster and Pics
“The impossible comes true”
20th Century Fox is starting to roll out the red carpet for its big Christmas box office push The Greatest Showman, starring Oscar nominees Hugh Jackman and Michelle Williams.
Inspired by the imagination of P.T. Barnum, The Greatest Showman is an original musical that celebrates the birth of show business & tells of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.
With original music and lyrics from the Oscar and Tony-winning duo Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land and Dear Evan Hansen, respectively) and a script by Oscar-winner Bill Condon, The Greatest Showman opens December 20th and also stars Zac Efron, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson and Kaela Settle.
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
