The Damned United Movie Trailer

Michael Sheen gives us a surprising look at a strange period in history for one soccer time in The Damned United, coming to theatres September 25th.

Forty four days...that's all it takes for Brian Cloughs to go from manager of the champion Leeds United soccer team (or football club as it's often called) to guy out on the streets. What happened during those forty four days? Well, that's what we'll find out in The Damned United. Check out the trailer!

There is something of a dearth of sports movies available on the market these days, so it may be just the right time for one to come back. But will this one be a beautiful game or a red card waiting to happen? We're short a penalty box, but the comments section below will do. So pull a diving header in and tell us what you think. Thanks for watching!

The Damned United Cast: Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Colm Meaney, Jim Broadbent, Stephen Graham, Peter McDonald
