Following its delayed release, the promotional campaign for the Jeff Nichols’ film The Bikeriders now begins anew.
One of the films very much on our summer 2024 radar is Jeff Nichols’ The Bikeriders.
It’s a promising film too for lots of reasons: it’s a new film from the director of the excellent Mud and the equally excellent Take Shelter; there’s a very exciting and talented ensemble cast, and who doesn’t enjoy watching famous guys atop motorbikes brood moodily in vintage leather jackets?
The film’s impressive ensemble is made up of Tom Hardy, Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Michael Shannon. Of course, the movie was originally set to release on December 1st in the US until Disney pulled the plug on its distribution deal, seemingly because it wasn’t happy with the performance of another non-franchise drama in the form of Gareth Edwards’ The Creator.

Starring Austin Butler and Tom Hardy, The Bikeriders lost its distributor just as it was set for release – and now it has a new one.
Uh-oh. News is not looking on the bright side for the new film from the brilliant Jeff Nichols. The man behind superb cinema such as Take Shelter and Mud has premiered his latest movie, The Bikeriders, over the last few months.
It stars Austin Butler, Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer, and it’s the tale of a 1960s motorcycle club, or more to the point, its members. Reviews had been really good for the film, and it played in the UK at the London Film Festival last month too. There had been hopes for an awards campaign.
That may still happen, but it also looks as if the film no longer has a distributor. It had been set, in the US, for December 1st, although...

Chicago – That’s a wrap! The 59th Chicago International Film Festival (Ciff) Closing Night is October 22nd, 2023, with “The Bikeriders,” which is set in Chicago and directed by Jeff Nichols, who will make an appearance on behalf of the film. Click Closing for info and tickets.
“The Bikeriders” is an immersive experience into the look, feel, and sounds of the subculture of ’60s motorcycle riders. Kathy (Jodie Comer), a strong-willed member of the Vandals who’s married to a wild, reckless bikerider named Benny (Austin Butler of “Elvis”), recounts the Vandals’ evolution over the course of a decade, beginning as a local club of outsiders united by good times, rumbling bikes, and respect for their strong, steady leader Johnny (Tom Hardy).

Jeff Nichols brings pure Americana to the Telluride Film Festival with his luscious period drama “The Bikeriders,” which feels like the distant older cousin of “The Outsiders.” It stands as his single best directorial outing, and in tow are a trio of invigorating performances from Austin Butler, Jodie Comer and Tom Hardy, all putting their stamp on an awards season that will be undoubtedly competitive.
Based on the 1968 photo and interview book by Danny Lyon, “The Bikeriders” tells a fictional story inspired by a Midwestern motorcycle club, seen through its members’ lives over a decade.
Read: Variety’s Awards Circuit for the latest Oscars predictions in all categories.
Nichols, who writes and directs, has carved out a special lane of talented American filmmakers who are able to wrangle honest and moving performances from the likes of Michael Shannon (“Take Shelter”) and Matthew McConaughey (“Mud”). He does it once again with his actors including Butler,...

Exclusive: Tye Sheridan is launching his new production company, Dogwood Pictures with its debut film, Black Flies, is set to play in competition at the 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Directed by Jean-Stéphane Sauvaire, the pic reunites Sheridan with Sean Penn after over a decade since Malick’s The Tree of Life. Sheridan first became involved with the film in 2018 and continued on throughout the film’s execution and release.
Hailing from small-town East Texas, Sheridan is launching Dogwood Pictures which aims to tell stories that shine a light on hidden pockets of American culture.
“As a teen, some of the first films I worked on, like Mud and Joe, had a profound effect on me because they were universal stories, yet they conveyed the sheer magic and richness of American subculture. Those are the kinds of stories we want to bring to life through Dogwood Pictures,” said Sheridan.

No matter how talented his castmates are, Michael Shannon easily stands out from the crowd onscreen. The actor's 6'3" frame easily makes him look imposing, and his stoic facial expressions are an unmissable signature that permeates every role he plays. However, behind that tough-looking countenance lies an often underrated talent and an impressive range.
Whereas many actors shine brightly in over-the-top parts, Shannon's true strength lies in subtlety. Over the course of his career, he has played everything from hardened criminals to iconic rock stars, but all of his characters have one thing in common: a compelling duality that plays out in small moments. By fully committing to roles, Shannon captures unconscious behaviors that make his portrayals feel real. He makes it possible to see how many characters would like others to see them and how they truly see themselves.
Whether he is the leading man or merely a side character,...

Matthew McConaughey is revealing that he is, in fact, the mastermind behind the masterful “McConaissance” branding.
The Oscar winner detailed how he transitioned from playing the leading man in rom-coms like “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” “The Wedding Planner,” and “Failure to Launch” and taking on more serious roles in the 2010s, such as “The Lincoln Lawyer,” “True Detective,” and “Dallas Buyers Club.”
“Hollywood was not offering me [those roles] before,” McConaughey admitted during Chelsea Handler’s iHeart “Dear Chelsea” podcast.
Comedian Handler quipped that McConaughey then became part of the “McConaissance,” to which McConaughey said, “Oh jeez, it was some self-marketing.” The “Mud” actor admitted that while promoting the 2012 film, a journalist on the red carpet said he was “on a roll” and his career needed a catchphrase.
McConaughey said he fed the journalist a white lie, saying at the time, “Yeah, I was talking to this guy...

Given the many outrageous scenes in “The Square,” Ruben Östlund’s irreverent art world satire, Elizabeth Moss’ character owning a pet chimpanzee hardly even registered as out of the ordinary. For Claes Bang, however, it was a scene he won’t be forgetting anytime soon. “Shooting with that monkey was terrible. That’s a wild animal. In a flat. In Berlin. On a rainy day in October,” the actor told IndieWire during an interview for our Spotlight Awards series. Although there were handlers on set waiting in every corner of the room in case anything went wrong, that hardly served to reassure the actor. “I was terrified of that monkey. I hated that monkey.”
Bang plays a museum director named Christian, whose powerful position in the Stockholm art world has made him entitled and careless with women. “He’s challenged, which makes him do the odd thing here or there,...

Tim Wonnacott and his professional partner Natalie Lowe are the third couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing.
The Bargain Hunt expert and Lowe found themselves in the dance-off alongside Mark Wright and Karen Hauer.
The bottom two acts were decided through a combination of viewer votes and judges' scores.
Wonnacott and Lowe performed their paso doble to Tina Turner's 'Simply the Best', while Wright and Hauer danced a quickstep to 'Tiger Feet' by Mud.
Wright's quickstep originally earned him a score of 29 during yesterday's (October 18) show, while Wonnacott's performance got him a 19.
Judges Craig Revel Horwood and Darcey Bussell both took the decision to save Wright and Hauer, with Bruno Tonioli sealing their fate.

Your book raises a lot of interesting points about movie critics, but also hinted widely at the ecosystem around them.

And both you and your mother do not recall that it was your finest hour.
