‘Easy A’ actress Emma Stone will continue to play the outsider in her next film entitled ‘The Help’. Directed by Winter’s Bone Tate Taylor, with a fresh new UK trailer just released, Stone plays Skeeter, a young girl living in Mississippi in the 1960’s. Based on the 2009 book of the same name by author Kathryn Stockett’s, The Help chronicle Stone’s post college adventures as a writer, who dares to be different when she interviews a black woman, publishing a point of view piece during times of discrimination. Here’s a snippet of the plot:

“three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed-even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times..”

The trailer features Emma Stone alongside a cast ensemble of Viola Davis, Sissy Spacek, Allison Janney, Bryce Dallas Howard, and actress Octavia Spencer. The Help hits theaters this summer on August 12th 2011. Check out the trailer below with Stone quirky, and funny, a mother who just wants her daughter to get married, and the help that has inspired Skeeter.
