The first teaser for Fences, a film adapted from August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play, has finally arrived, and leads Denzel Washington and Viola Davis have clearly brought their A game (as if they have any other type). The Magnificent Seven actor stars as Troy, a man trying to raise his son in the 1950s while simultaneously struggling with race relations in the US, and Davis plays his wife, Rose. The unbelievably intense trailer clocks in at just under two minutes, but it already has us thinking it'll definitely stir up some strong Oscar buzz. Fences will hit theaters on Christmas Day.
