Teaser trailer for BBC America's "Burton & Taylor"

It's take two for Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton on the small screen, but this version should be a bit more compelling than the one starring Lindsay Lohan.

BBC America has released the first teaser trailer for "Burton and Taylor" starring Dominic West and Helena Bonham Carter. The TV film will look at the troubled and tumultuous relationship between the famous Hollywood couple, centering on their 1983 roles in the revival of the play "Private Lives," which came out years after the couple divorced for the second time.

And although this trailer is short, it already looks more promising than last year's oft-mocked Lifetime version "Liz & Dick" which starred Lohan and Grant Bowler. Even the recently-released promo pics are more appealing.

Check out the trailer for the 90-minute movie, which comes out this fall, and tell us what you think of Bonham Carter and West as Taylor and Burton.
