Ladies and gentlemen, the first official trailer for Mira Nair's upcoming Amelia Earhart biopic has landed on the Web. Please feel free to check it out after the jump.

The story of Ameila Earhart is an intriguing one, and the footage in this trailer looks grand. As someone who enjoys flying, I'm obviously quite excited to see the film.

"Amelia" chronicles the life of the famous American pilot who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic by herself. In 1937, she disappeared somewhere over the Pacific during an attempt to fly around the world.

Hilary Swank stars as the title character, with Richard Gere playing publisher George Putnam. Also on-board as Gene Vidal (a man Amelia had an affair with) is Ewan McGregor.

"Amelia" is scheduled to land in theaters Oct. 23, 2009. No delays on this one please. It looks really good.
