"The Bikeriders" Trailer Unveiled

20th Century Studios has unveiled the official trailer for writer-director Jeff Nichols’ ensemble pic "The Bikeriders".

The New Regency movie follows the rise of a 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. Austin Butler stars as Benny, a quietly smoldering young man who, like elder gang member and founder Johnny (Hardy), is unconditionally devoted to the club.

It also features Jodie Comer 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 shows the violence that followed.

The trailer also shows that Mike Faist (“West Side Story,” Dear Evan Hansen”), stars as a fictional version of Lyon, the photographer who captured the real-life 1960s bikers that inspired the characters in the film. 

In a 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.

Michael Shannon, Boyd Holbrook, Damon Herriman, Beau Knapp, Emory Cohen and Karl Glusman also star.

Nichols, the director behind “Loving,” “Midnight Special” and “Mud”, also penned the script.

“Bikeriders” is produced by Regency Enterprises, New Regency Productions, Tri-State Pictures and 20th Century Studios.

The movie opened the Telluride Film Festival on August 31 to critical acclaim. Its theatrical release is scheduled for December 1.
