'Selma' Earns Its First Big Magazine Cover

“Selma” director Ava DuVernay, actors David Oyelowo and Oprah Winfrey are on the cover of the latest issue of Variety. It’s the film’s first big magazine cover, but with the project earning tons of critical praise, it won’t be the last. The film will be released in theaters nationwide starting tomorrow.

Thanks to Claudia Eller, Justin Chang and the whole @Variety team for our first SELMA cover! On stands now. In theaters everywhere tomorrow!
