Check out these cool new posters for the upcoming holiday film “Hidden Figures.” It features leading ladies—Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe—along with some inspirational quotes.
The film stars the trio as mathematicians Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson and Katherine Johnson. Each one served as the brains behind America’s race against Russia to put a man in space and quickly rose the ranks of NASA. Joining the ladies on this journey is veteran actor Kevin Costner along with Kirsten Dunst, Mahershala Ali and Aldis Hodge.
Karan Kendrick, Maria Howell and Donna Biscoe
“Hidden Figures” also includes the acting talents of three Atlanta-based TV and film stars that I know very well—Donna Biscoe, Maria Howell and Karan Kendrick. I had a chance to chat exclusively with the ladies this morning for an upcoming segment of my radio show, “UPFRONT.” Make sure you tune in on December 17 at 9 a.m. to hear their inspiring interview.
“Hidden Figures” is based on the book “Hidden Figures: The Story of the African-American Women Who Helped Win the Space Race” written by Margot Lee Shetterly. The film was shot in various locations around historic Morehouse College and opens in select theaters on December 25 and nationwide on January 6, 2017.
See all the posters below + this new featurette about the film’s soundtrack produced by Pharrell Williams.
