‘The Bikeriders’ Review: Jeff Nichols Rediscovers The Motorcycle Gang Code With Superb Cast Led By Jodie Comer, Austin Butler & Tom Hardy – Telluride Film Festival

Coronation Street fans have made it clear how they want the Stephen Reid story to conclude as they declare his 'time is up'. Weatherfield's latest villain has been rubbing viewers of the ITV soap up the wrong way ever since he returned from Milan last year.

The Traitors is reportedly filming!

Amy Nicholson “The Royal Hotel,” the setting of Kitty Green’s ulcer-inducing thriller, is a sun-baked bar in a rural Australian mining town surrounded by terrain so monotone that Canadian backpackers Hanna (Julia Garner) and Liv (Jessica Henwick) can’t keep their eyes open on the way in. The two young women arrive at their barmaid jobs with a sense palpable disorientation. They’ve quite literally woken up in Oz, and they don’t know the people, the customs, the nicknames for the local ales, or the way out.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Jazz and animation make for strong bedfellows in “They Shot the Piano Player,” a film from Spanish directors Fernando Treuba and Javier Mariscal that represents an intriguing hybrid in all sorts of ways. It’s a love letter to the bossa nova movement that peaked in the 1960s, while at the same time it’s a sobering procedural that looks into the state murder of a musician that occurred as fascistic regimes rose to power in Latin America in the ’70s.

In Cord Jefferson cinematic adaptation of Percival Everett’s Erasure, American Fiction emerges as a hard-hitting commentary on identity, storytelling, and the microaggressive terrains of the publishing industry. With a powerhouse ensemble, led by Jeffrey Wright and supported by the likes of Tracee Ellis Ross and Sterling K. Brown, the film aims to deconstruct the publishing world as it relates to myriad facets of Black lives.

Jeff Nichols was just at the Telluride Film Festival last weekend for the world premiere of his upcoming film, “The Bikeriders.” And while he was there, the director hopped on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast to talk about his new movie, failed pitches for projects like “Aquaman,” and other topics. That includes “Alien Nation,” a long-gestating project of Nichols’ that never panned out (and is the reason for seven years between “The Bikeriders” and 2016’s “Loving” and “Midnight Special“) but came closer to being made than anyone realizes.

King Charles and Queen Camilla paid a special tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II on Friday to mark the 1-year anniversary of her death.

Tom Hardy has left some viewers baffled by his accent in the trailer for upcoming film, The Bikeriders.The actor, who has showcased a number of accents across The Dark Knight Rises, Peaky Blinders and Locke, stars opposite Jodie Comer and Austin Butler in the drama which follows the rise of a fictional 1960s Midwestern motorcycle club.After the trailer was released on Wednesday (September 6), a key takeaway has been the “absurd” and “inexplicable” accent Hardy adopts for his character.“Ahhhhhhh the incredibly soothing sensation of Tom Hardy doing another new voice and accent that has never existed before,” one viewer wrote on X.Another added: “Wake up babe new Tom Hardy accent just dropped.”You can check out more reactions below.Ahhhhhhhh the incredibly soothing sensation of Tom Hardy doing another new voice and accent that has never existed before.— Aaron Stewart-Ahn (@somebadideas) September 6, 2023This movie has everything.

You’ll recall that after the success of “A Quiet Place,” director John Krasinski, who had already expanded the original screenplay, had many ideas on his mind, sequels, and spin-offs that took place in different parts of the world, essentially plotting to franchise his alien-invasion family-driven thriller (it fascinating to look back on our interview with Krasinski from 2018). Obviously, “A Quiet Place II” came out in 2020, and “Pig” filmmaker Michael Sarnoski is working on “A Quiet Place: Day One,” a post-apocalyptic horror spin-off due March 8, 2024, starring actors like Lupita Nyong’o, Joseph Quinn, Alex Wolff, Djimon Hounsou, and Denis O’Hare.

After seven years, Jeff Nichols returns this year with “The Bikeriders,” a motorcycle gang drama starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Nichols regular Michael Shannon, and Tom Hardy. And critics loved Nichols’ upcoming film at its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival last weekend.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director One of the big reveals to come out of the infamous 2014 Sony email hack was that Warner Bros. had been in talks with indie director Jeff Nichols to helm its “Aquaman” movie starring Jason Momoa. Nichols was coming off acclaimed back-to-back dramas “Take Shelter” and “Mud” at the time.

EXCLUSIVE: Jeff Nichols spent two decades considering how to approach what would become his new film The Bikeriders because he did not want to glamorize motorcycle culture.

“This is our family – you and me, kid.”

“From the beginning?” Kathy asks the interviewer. “Yes, please,” he responds. Flash back to 1965 Chicago and the rise of the Vandals. “The was the golden age of bike riders,” she says.

Jaden Thompson 20th Century Studios has released the trailer for Jeff Nichols’ upcoming motorcycle gang drama “The Bikeriders,” starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, and Tom Hardy. The film opened the Telluride Film Festival on Aug. 31 to critical acclaim.

It’s been seven long years since Jeff Nichols dropped “Midnight Special” and “Loving” on moviegoers back in 2016. Now he’s back with his latest film, “The Bikeriders,” fresh off its world premiere at Telluride last weekend.  And given reviews out of the festival, it sounds like “The Bikeriders” will be worth the wait (read The Playlist’s review of the film here).

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Don’t let the word “bike” fool you. In Jeff Nichols’ “The Bikeriders,” the wheels in question are choppers — good, all-American motorcycles, built from the ground up by tough guys in leather jackets — and the “club” they’re a part of is really more of a gang.
