The stunning first trailer for The Greatest Showman has arrived.
The original musical is inspired by P.T. Barnum’s imagination, and sees Hugh Jackman portraying him.
Barnum founded the circus that went on to be known as the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, and became a huge worldwide spectacle.

Hugh is also producing the movie about the creation of show business, and how the showman came from nothing to make his dreams a reality.
Michelle Williams is set to play Barnum’s wife, while Zac Efron and Zendaya portray members of the circus team and Rebecca Ferguson is seen as a singer.
One clip shows Zendaya comforting a bruised and battered Zac in hospital, suggesting that they play love interests.

“I’m putting together a show, and I need a star,” Hugh explains in the clip. “Everyone of us is special, and nobody is like anyone else. That’s the point of my show.”
The feel-good trailer gives a glimpse of some of the elaborate dance sequences, and ends with Hugh declaring, “He adds, “No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else.”
