The long-planned Winnie Mandela biopic -- imaginatively entitled Winnie -- is currently shooting, and they've apparently gotten to the part of the story where its controversial subject married Nelson Mandela in 1958. The pair would change history (and eventually split in acrimony not long after the latter's 28-year prison ordeal ended), but let's remember the happy times with the help of Jennifer Hudson and Terrence Howard, whose characters are joined in holy matrimony after the jump.
The first production still to emerge from the set doesn't give away much beyond yes -- this will be Oscar bait. But from the actor-character resemblances down to Nelson Mandela's white gloves, I'm prompted to what seems like one unassailable conclusion: Better than Thor.
