A New Trailer to The Bikeriders Is Here
On September 6, 20th Century Studios unveiled the trailer to The Bikeriders, Jeff Nichols’ motorcycle gang drama. After opening the Telluride Film Festival on August 31 to rave reviews, fans anxiously await its theatrical release.
The Bikeriders is based on Danny Lyons’ 1968 book featuring black and white photographs. Nichols’ film will follow a fictional Midwestern biker gang in 1965 Chicago called the Vandals. The film’s ensemble is picture-perfect. Golden Globe winner Austin Butler (Elvis) leads the cast as Benny, a devoted member of the Vandals.

Butler personifies cool as he lights a cigarette and rides the highs and lows of motorcycle gang life. Benny has to decide who his allegiance lies with Johnny (Tom Hardy), the Vandals founder, or Kathy (Jodie Comer), his loving wife?
In the trailer, Kathy (Jodie Comer) reveals to Danny (Mike Faist) that it was a “golden age for bike riders.” Although she admits that she felt out of place when she saw Benny for the first time, he “took her breath away.” The trailer cuts to a scene of Benny and Kathy on a motorcycle.

Kathy and Benny’s union took place five weeks after meeting for the first time. Fans can understand Kathy’s frustration with Benny’s undying devotion to the organization when she states, “I thought I could change him, you know? Not to be different, but to be, I don’t know like he’s wild.”
