The day after "Nelson Mandela Day" seems like a good time for the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom official trailer to be released. 

We’ve already gotten the briefest of looks at the new film with the Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom teaser trailer but now we get the chance to see some of the actual story. What a story it is.

If there were any doubts that Idris Elba would be able to pull off the look and sound of the iconic leader, this trailer puts some of those to bed. Joining Elba is Naomie Harris as Winnie Mandela. 

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom opens on January 3, 2014.
