Hollywood stars Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy's upcoming movie "The Bikeriders" will ride into theatres in India on December 1, 20th Century Studios India announced Thursday. The studio released the trailer and poster for the upcoming feature film on its social media pages.
The film, directed by filmmaker Jeff Nichols of "Mud" and "Loving" fame, had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival recently.
"The Bikeriders" is described as a "furious drama following the rise of a fictional 1960s Midwestern motorcycle club through the lives of its members".
Based on Danny Lyon’s 1968 book of black-and white photographs, 'The Bikeriders' follows a fictional Midwestern biker gang in 1965 Chicago called the Vandals, as per Variety.
Austin Butler stars as Benny, a quietly smouldering young man who, like elder gang member and founder Johnny (Hardy), is unconditionally devoted to the club. Jodie Comer stars as Kathy, Benny’s wife who fell for him at a young age and grapples with the consequences of Benny’s involvement in the group.
The trailer reveals that the gang eventually gets involved with criminal activity and the violence that followed. The clip also features Mike Faist as a fictional version of Lyon, the photographer who captured the real-life 1960s bikers that inspired the characters in the film. In a meta nod to Lyon’s work chronicling the bikers’ lives, Faist is shown interviewing Kathy about her relationship and the gang. The innocent Kathy allows the “Killing Eve” star Comer to showcase an all-new side to her, complete with a unique Midwestern accent.
The film also features Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, Boyd Holbrook and Norman Reedus. It is presented by 20th Century Studios and New Regency.
