Check out Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga on the Loving poster

Loving stars Joel Edgerton (The Gift, Black Mass) and Ruth Negga (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Preacher).  Focus Features have sent me the first poster for the film and you can see it below.

Inspired by Nancy Buirski’s documentary “The Loving Story,” the film stars Edgerton and Negga as Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple who married in June 1958. They were arrested, thrown into jail, and exiled from their home state of Virginia. For the next nine years, the couple fought for their marriage and the right to return home as a family.

The film also stars Michael Shannon, Nick Kroll, Marton Csokas, Jon Bass and Bill Camp.

Kroll will play Bernie Cohen, Bass will play Phil Hirschkop, Csokas will play Sheriff Brooks and Camp will play as Frank Beazley. Shannon will play Grey Villet, the LIFE Magazine photographer who shot the iconic images of the Lovings in 1965.
