Whoa... who woke up Harrison Ford?

Below, the trailer for "42," a biopic of Jackie Robinson (why haven't there been at least sixty of these by now??) with newcomer Chadwick Boseman in the lead and Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey. It looks good. The only thing worrying is the April release date - the pedigree (biopic, issue-oriented, aging legend playing historical figure in showy supporting part) practically screams "Oscar movie!!!;" so why is it opening after this years show and so long before next years.

In any case, the film is due in April and they're already running trailers starting today; which means I will be called about 10 to 15 times between now and then by my dad to ask if I've seen this yet and if it's any good.
