The Butler is an upcoming historical drama film directed by Lee Daniels and featuring an ensemble cast. The film stars Forest Whitaker as Cecil Gaines, an African-American who eyewitnesses notable events of the 20th century during his tenure as a White House butler. The film is based on the real-life account of Eugene Allen, who served as a White House butler during eight American presidencies from 1952 to 1986.

It will be theatrically released by The Weinstein Company on August 16, 2013

What's c00nish about it from the trailer? If dude really was a butler and it's showing his story against the backdrop of history, what's the problem? Just the fact that it's a movie about a black butler? It's based on a true story right?

I'd have to see the movie in full to make an assessment, but I don't see it should be labeled "c00nery" based upon the trailer.

These so-called JEWS have the time for BLACK butlers but they WILL NEVER make a movie about the BLACK man who invented the MICROWAVE.
