Cloughie where he belongs, on the big screen...

It's the most eagerly anticipated film of the year. At least in our office it is. After a stellar performance convincing us that David Frost used to be a bit of a playboy in Frost/Nixon, Michael Sheen's next impersonation will arguably be his most difficult yet, as the one and only Brian Clough. Based on David Peace's fantastic novel about Clough's 44 turbulent days in charge of Leeds United in 1974, The Damned United, out in March, has a lot to live up to. But if this trailer, released just this week, is anything to go by, it should be damn good.
