The final 'Run This Town' trailer promises a thrilling ride through the 2013 Rob Ford scandal

You're probably familiar with the story of the Rob Ford crack-smoking scandal, but prepare to relive the media circus that went down nearly seven years ago that captivated the nation—and the world. Run This Town is a fictionalized retelling of the (stranger-than-fiction) story and the final trailer promises to keep you tense and on-edge, even if you know exactly how the whole thing pans out.The latest trailer shows Ben Platt as an entry-level reporter in the anxiety-inducing scenario of pursuing a story no one seems to think he can get. What follows are recognizable snippets of the real story for those who remember it—suggestions of a scandalous video which may or may not exist, political aids dodging reporters and questions about whether then-Toronto mayor Rob Ford will lose his job or not. This thing is sure to hit home for any Canadians who remember the time when the city's top politician became international news and late-show fodder for all the wrong reasons.

If you're rusty on the details, a quick refresher: in spring 2013, journalists at The Toronto Star were approached by an individual looking for payment in exchange for incriminating video of then-mayor Ford smoking crack cocaine and making homophobic and racist comments. After months of back-and-forth, the paper chose not to pay for the video, but break the story based on the notes and accounts of reporter Robyn Doolittle, who went on to write Crazy Town: The Rob Ford Story about the fascinating ordeal, and editor Kevin Donovan who viewed the incriminating footage.They were ultimately beaten to the scoop by American site Gawker, but added important texture with their own story (the actual video footage wasn't seen by the public until 2016). What followed was a tumultuous time in Toronto while the mayor tried to deny and cover up the video's existence and his own substance abuse until he didn't.Run This Town, written and directed by Ricky Tollman, also co-stars Canadians Mena Massoud, Nina Dobrev, Scott Speedman, Gil Bellows and Billions star Damian Lewis as Ford himself, beneath layers of transformative makeup, and is set to hit theatres on March 6.[video_embed id='1689441']RELATED: Mena Massoud tells us how ‘Aladdin’ connected with him as a kid[/video_embed]
