Universal recently released this highly engaging trailer for Ron Howard's upcoming drama "Frost/Nixon," which chronicles the post-Watergate confrontations between Richard Nixon (played by Frank Langella) and British television presenter David Frost (Michael Sheen). Peter Morgan ("The Queen") wrote the screenplay based on his own play. Kevin Bacon, Sam Rockwell and Oliver Platt co-star.

In case you didn't immediately recognize him as Frost, Sheen also delivered the captivating performance as Tony Blair in Stephen Frears' "The Queen." Enjoy the trailer above. It really looks like an interesting project with a bunch of solid acting. We'll see when the flick opens in limited release Dec. 5, 2008.
