See the trailer for Spielberg's 'Munich'
A first glimpse at the early Oscar favourite.
Nov 7 2005
It's only been four months since the release of the last Steven Spielberg film, but the trailer for his new picture 'Munich' has already hit the net, and the subject matter couldn't be further removed from the big-budget histrionics of 'War of the Worlds'.
Written by Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner, the film revolves around the hit squad sent to track down and kill the Palestinian terrorists suspected of the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.
A return to more serious (and Oscar-worthy) fare for Spielberg after the light-hearted diversions 'Catch Me If You Can' and 'The Terminal', the film stars Eric Bana, Daniel Craig and Geoffrey Rush, and is due to hit UK screens on January 27.
