First Look at Viola Davis, Emma Stone, and Bryce Dallas Howard in The Help

Viola Davis (the Tony winner and Oscar nominee) and Bryce Dallas Howard (the gorgeous redhead who dares to have three boy names) look like they're concealing a silent grudge match in new stills from the upcoming Dreamworks adaptation of Kathryn Stockett's best-selling book, The Help. The trailer goes up later this afternoon, but in the meantime, let's stare at socioeconomically provocative pics of these two stars, along with Emma Stone and Octavia Spencer.

The Help hits theaters on Aug. 12th.
