The show must go on in the new trailer and poster for upcoming comedy STAN & OLLIE starring Steve Coogan and John C. Reilly as famous comedic duo Laurel & Hardy.

This heartwarming story strays a bit from the formula of most biopics by focusing on a certain period of time in the careers of the two comedians rather than becoming a cradle to grave biopic. Specifically a year-long period as the comedy team set out on a variety hall tour of Britain in 1953. You can watch the trailer for Stan & Ollie below.

Diminished by age and with their golden era as the kings of Hollywood comedy now behind them, they face an uncertain future. As the charm and beauty of their performances shines through, they re-connect with their adoring fans.

The tour becomes a hit, but Stan & Ollie can't quite shake the specter of Laurel and Hardy's past; the long-buried ghosts, coupled with Oliver's failing health, start to threaten their precious partnership. A portrait of the most tender and poignant of creative marriages, they are aware that they may be approaching their swan song, trying to rediscover just how much they mean to each other. {googleads}
