The first trailer for Armando Iannucci’s Soviet satire The Death of Stalin has been unveiled.
The film is the first Iannucci has directed since 2009’s In the Loop, which was a big-screen spin-off from his acclaimed political satire The Thick of It.
The Death of Stalin will be screened at the Toronto film festival next month, before being released in UK cinemas on 20 October.
Iannucci also created the HBO political satire Veep and the BBC comedies The Day Today and I’m Alan Partridge.
