\n\tFocus Features has released the trailer for \u201cElsinore<\/a>,\u201d the Andrew Scott<\/a>-led drama from director Simon Stone. The film will be released in theaters on Nov. 20.<\/p>\n

\n\tWritten by Stephen Beresford, \u201cElsinore\u201d is the \u201cdeeply emotional and inspirational true story of Ian Charleson, a gifted actor whose greatest challenge becomes his greatest triumph,\u201d per the official synopsis. \u201cFacing his own mortality with unflinching honesty, wit, and grace, Charleson delivers a courageous performance that becomes a source of healing and inspiration for those around him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe star of \u201cChariots of Fire,\u201d Charleson had the chance of a lifetime to replace Daniel Day-Lewis as Hamlet<\/a> in the play at London\u2019s National Theatre when Day-Lewis stopped cold during a performance and walked offstage, never to return to the production. At the time, despite receiving rave reviews, the Scottish actor was succumbing to complications from AIDS. He died seven weeks after bowing out.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cElsinore\u201d first debuted at the Telluride Film Festival before playing at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month, where it won the International People\u2019s Choice Award. Variety\u2019s Owen Gleiberman wrote in his review that<\/a> Scott makes the film \u201can indelible journey\u201d and \u201cgives an astonishingly layered and moving performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMake no mistake, this is the role of Scott\u2019s career and it lands him toward the forefront of a best actor conversation he has been circling for years,\u201d added Variety\u2019s Clayton Davis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn addition to Scott<\/a>, the cast includes Olivia Colman, Billie Piper, Johnny Flynn, Luke Thompson, David Dawson, Matthew Beard, Joe Locke, Monica Dolan, Georgie Glen, Sadie Soverall, Adeel Akhtar, Dickie Beau, Kadiff Kirwan, Juliet Stevenson and Peter Mullan.<\/p>\n
