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.

They may have had a troubled relationship in Adrian Lyne's 2002 thriller "Unfaithful," but this time, Richard Gere and Diane Lane share a little more love on the big screen. In George C. Wolfe's upcoming romantic drama "Nights in Rodanthe," they play two individuals who are struggling with their own crises and eventually turn to each other for comfort. As you may have expected, the film is based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks.

Yahoo! on Wednesday released an extended version of the trailer, which you can fall in love with just above. Clocking in at four minutes, it shows a little bit too much for my taste. The movie itself looks like just the kind of mature romance you would expect from Sparks, but I generally don't like trailers to tell me the whole story beforehand. The films opens Sept. 26, 2008.
