Here’s a first look at the upcoming historical drama THE UPRISING.
From director Paul Greengrass, Andrew Garfield stars as the legendary leader of a ferocious rebellion against the tyranny of King Richard II. As war burns across England, he forms an army of the people to face the King’s might in a fight for justice and survival.
Andrew Garfield, Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, Katherine Waterston, Sky Yang star.
Wow – this looks epic. Has the BRAVEHEART vibe running through it as well as the true story of the the Peasants Revolt in 1381. “Triggered by economic hardship and oppressive taxation, the uprising briefly shook the foundations of the feudal system. Though the rebellion lasted less than a month and was violently suppressed, it fundamentally altered the socio-economic landscape of medieval England.”
Greengrass’ most recent project is The Lost Bus (Academy Award-winner Matthew McConaughey and Academy Award-nominee America Ferrera) for Apple Original Films, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s refereshing to see Blumhouse with a film that’s not horror.
Jason Blum is producing through Blumhouse, alongside Gregory Goodman, Joanna Kaye and Greengrass. Lars Sylvest will also produce through Thank You Pictures and Joe Neurauter will produce through Supernix.
Focus Features will release THE UPRISING in theaters on September 11th.
