Yahoo Movies First trailer for Michael B Jordan's new movie released
Black Panther's Michael B Jordan stars in a first teaser trailer for movie A Journal For Jordan, and it looks like the film will be an emotional ride.
Jordan plays the role of Sergeant Charles Monroe King, a soldier deployed to Iraq who begins to keep a journal of love and advice for his infant son, Jordan.

Directed by Denzel Washington, the film is based on the memoir A Journal for Jordan: A Story of Love and Honor by Canedy.
Virgil Williams penned the screenplay for what is guaranteed to be a tearjerking account of a once-in-a-lifetime love and a powerful reminder of the importance of family and the all-too-human cost of war.
Jordan posted the trailer on his social media, explaining how he felt about being directed by Washington.
"It's not often you get a chance to be directed by one of your idols, in Denzel Washington. @chantee__ I think we got one!" he wrote, tagging his co-star Adams.
