Michelle Yeoh Leads Her People in the First Trailer for 'The Lady'

Writer-director Luc Besson loves writing strong female leads for his films ('Nikita,' 'The Professional' and 'Angel-A,' all feature women playing badass characters). For his latest movie, 'The Lady,' Besson examines a different type of female strength. Starring Michelle Yeoh as Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese politician put under house arrest for 10 years, 'The Lady' focuses on personal sacrifices and love during political turmoil. The first official trailer for 'The Lady' has premiered, and it's easy to see why Yeoh has been garnering early Oscar buzz for the role. [via Yahoo!
