Focus Features’ new trailer for The Bikeriders features a lot of smoking, a bit of fighting, and, naturally, motorcycle riding. The second trailer also reveals how tight the relationship is between Austin Butler (Dune: Part Two) and Tom Hardy’s characters and the extent they’ll go to to protect the club.
In addition to Tom Hardy and Austin Butler, the cast includes Michael Shannon (Bullet Train), Mike Faist (West Side Story), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), and Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead). Jeff Nichols (Loving, Midnight Special) wrote and directed the drama which was originally scheduled for a 2023 release. Focus Features is now planning a June 21, 2024 theatrical release.
“The Bikeriders follows the rise of a midwestern motorcycle club, the Vandals,” reads Focus Features’ synopsis. “Seen through the lives of its members, the club evolves over the course of a decade from a gathering place for local outsiders into a more sinister gang, threatening the original group’s unique way of life.”
Sarah Green, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Arnon Milchan produced, with Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Sam Hanson, David Kern, and Fred Berger executive producing.
