With The X-Files: I Want to Believe new in theaters, I’ve chosen to highlight one of the most successful projects that Gillian Anderson was a part of before returning to the role she is best known for. In The Last King of Scotland, James McAvoy of Wanted fame travels to a Ugandan medical mission run by Gillian’s British doctor husband to do good deeds and make a difference in the world. Before completely sacrificing his morals to become President Forest Whitaker’s personal physician, McAvoy sacrifices them just a smidgen in order to put the moves on his boss’s wife.
In the trailer, McAvoy is shown deciding to go to Uganda by placing his finger on a spinning globe. Once there, he helps a few sick Ugandans and meets Ms. Anderson before being taken in by President Whitaker’s magnetic personality. After he’s welcomed into Whitaker’s inner circle, it’s not long before McAvoy learns of the President’s true, ruthless nature, and realizes that his head will probably be on the chopping block before too long. Whitaker, who won the Academy Award for his portrayal of Idi Amin, stands out even in the trailer. My favorite part is when he admits to eating his enemies…if they are chickens! The Last King of Scotland opened on September 27, 2006. Check out The Last King of Scotland trailer at Zuguide.com.
