The movie based on the 1853 memoir by Solomon Northup, a free black man who was sold into slavery, winning his freedom 12 years later, was recently moved from a Dec. release date to Oct 18 (regarded as a more advantageous time for attracting Oscar attention).

The trailer was released late yesterday:
