First Glance: “The Bikeriders”

Finally! 20th Century Studios has given us the official trailer to one of my most anticipated movies from one of my very favorite filmmakers. “The Bikeriders” sees writer and director Jeff Nichols (“Take Shelter”, Mud”, “Loving”) assembling a stellar cast that includes Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, Mike Faist, Norman Reedus, Boyd Holbrook, and Nichols favorite Michael Shannon. How can you not be excited with that kind of talent in front and behind the camera.

Set in the 1960s, the movie features Comer’s Kathy recounting her days with a biker gang known as the Vandals. During that time she fell in love with a young hellion named Benny (Butler) but soon found herself at odds with Benny’s older brother, Johnny (Hardy), the leader of the Vandals. The trailer teases us with a gripping and ultimately violent story carved out of the 1960s biker culture. This looks great!

“The Bikeriders” wheels into theaters on December 1st. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
