In the 1950’s, travelling salesman Ray Kroc met brothers Mac and Dick McDonald, owners of a small burger joint in Southern California. Impressed by the brothers speedy system of making the food, Kroc saw franchise potential for McDonalds, and the rest as we know is history. But getting from their to where the fast food giant is now wasn’t all wine and roses, and director John Lee Hancock's (The Blind Side, Saving Mr. Banks) The Founder sheds light on the dark history of the franchise, with Michael Keaton’s Kroc attempting to wrest control away from the brothers McDonald (Nick Offerman and John Carroll Lynch).
The first trailer, via USA Today, promises yet another meaty role for Keaton since Birman signalled a career resurgence for him, and to his his credit he seems to be relishing the role, being incredibly liable and repulsively slimy all at the same time.
Released: 5th August (U.S.)/ ? (IRL/U.K.)
