The Iron Lady teaser trailer arrived this morning on the BBC and the Guardian. Complete with Clint Mansell's music for Moon, it not only proves that Meryl Streep an eerie (and cartoonish) clone of Margaret Thatcher, but also that Mamma Mia's director Phyllida Lloyd is taking an interesting new direction with its source material.

As much as I approve of the awards-friendly cast of Jim Broadbent, Anthony Head and Richard E Grant, The Iron Lady is obviously nothing like the book. There's not even a cameo from Vin Diesel.

The Iron Lady is released in the UK on Friday 6th January 2012 - see The Iron Lady UK poster or The Iron Lady UK trailer over here. Or head this way to see a sexy Margaret Thatcher photo - he says, lining himself up for the dodgiest Google search results of all time.
