Ready or not, Lifetime’s unleashed the first teaser trailer for Liz & Dick, the made-for-TV movie about the tumultuous relationship between Hollywood legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. The teaser allows us our first look at Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor and Grant Bowler as Richard Burton, although honestly, it’s more about flashing photos of Lohan than really showing much in the way of acting.

Here’s the synopsis for this dramatic film debuting on Lifetime in November:

“For nearly a quarter of a century, Taylor and Burton were Hollywood royalty and their fiery romance — often called ‘the marriage of the century’ — was the most notorious, publicized, and celebrated love affair of its day. Swarmed by paparazzi, Taylor and Burton’s love affair was played out entirely in front of the global press from the time they met on the set of the major motion picture Cleopatra, left their respective spouses, married and divorced, only to remarry and divorce once again.

Despite their roller coaster romance for the public eye to see, Taylor and Burton shared an undeniable love greater than most people could have ever dreamed.”
