Universal has released the movie trailer for Leatherheads, a romantic comedy set in the world of 1920s football. The story follows the owner of a professional team who drafts a straight-laced college sensation in an attempt to legitimatize the sport, only to watch his new coach fall for his fiancée. Directed and starring George Clooney, co-starring John Krasinski, Renée Zellweger, and Stephen Root.

Seems a little zany to me, but I keep telling myself that this is the same guy who directed Confessions of a Dangerous Mind  and Good Night and Good Luck. Watch the trailer after the jump. What you you guys think?

You can also watch the trailer in High Definition on Yahoo! Movies. Leatherheads hits theaters on April 4th 2008.
