• The Frost/Nixon trailer was released in September 2008. The trailer begins with former President Richard Nixon's resignation from office, then reveals British talk-show host David Frost's idea to interview Nixon. For the price of "half a million dollars," Nixon agrees to the interview, which Frost aims to use to give Nixon "the trial he never had." With a reputation as a "fluff" reporter, Frost gathers a team of researchers to help him prepare for the interview of a lifetime.Official Site: Frost/Nixon

It retells the story of a series of television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost (played by Michael Sheen) and Tricky Dick (Frank Langella), which took place after his resignation."—CinemaBlendCinemaBlend: Frost/Nixon Trailer (August 21, 2008)
