Hilary Swank plays Amelia Earhart, a noted American aviation pioneer, author and women's rights advocate who disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island during an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937. Also starring in Mira Nair's upcoming biopic Amelia are Richard Gere, Ewan McGregor, Virgina Madsen, and Christopher Eccleston. Fox Searchlight has provided us with a beautiful new look at the theatrical 1-sheet that will soon be popping up in theaters across the country. Take a look at the image below:
