Who knew it could be so epically intense off the court as it is on! With Wimbledon fever gripping the world by the short and curlies a brand new red band trailer has been released for the upcoming biographical drama Borg/McEnroe.
Related: First trailer for Borg/McEnroe
As with the first trailer, the red band version ups the ante on the tension front as both legendary tennis players Björn Borg and John McEnroe prepare themselves for the biggest match of their lives. Flitting between Swedish and English Borg, who is played by Sverrir Gudnason, is your quiet brooding type, one to keep his emotions calmly bottled up without even breaking into a smile. Whilst McEnroe, played by Shia LeBeouf, as we all know, has a more assertive manner, confidence over boils as well as his anger at a journalist at a standard press conference. The trailer...

The upcoming biographical film of two of tennis’s biggest giants, Björn Borg and John McEnroe, Borg/McEnroe, new trailer bounces into court starring Shia LeBeouf and Sverrir Gudnason.
Related: First image of Shia Labeouf and Sverrir Gudnason as John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg from Borg/McEnroe
Focus on the legendary duel between the American and the Swede during the 1980s Wimbledon tournament. Two men became legends, but doing so came at a price. Our first reaction at witnessing the image above was to laugh, however after witnessing the trailer the mood took on a slightly sombre atmosphere as it primarily focuses on Borg who is portrayed as suffering from some kind of internal turmoil on the lead up to this almighty battle of rackets. With recreation of this event in the hands of the Swedes, the trailer leans more in favour of Borg with the emphasis...
