From its impressive ensemble cast to its breathtaking visuals, Netflix’s latest “new school” Western has everyone buzzing about the upcoming fall release. While an official premiere date has yet to be announced, the trailer for The Harder They Fall was unveiled today, giving us a thrilling glimpse at what promises to be an exhilarating feature-length film brimming with star power.
Scheduled to hit screens this fall after delays from the COVID pandemic, the movie is touted as an action-filled Western featuring a predominantly Black cast that showcases some of Hollywood’s brightest talents.
The storyline follows outlaw Nat Love, who learns that the man responsible for his parents’ deaths is no longer incarcerated. Determined to seek vengeance, he gathers a crew from across the Wild West. However, the villainous Rufus Buck is also assembling his own gang to wreak havoc. From what we can gather from the trailer, viewers can expect high-stakes confrontations filled with gun battles, train escapades, small-town drama, saloon brawls, and classic showdowns.
As for the stellar cast, Jonathan Majors stars as Nat Love, flanked by Zazie Beetz, Edi Gathegi, and R.J. Cyler in his gang. Idris Elba takes on the role of the antagonist Rufus Buck, leading his own crew, which includes Regina King and LaKeith Stanfield. With such compelling characters, it’s hard to resist rooting for the “bad guys.”
Supporting roles are filled by Delroy Lindo, Danielle Deadwyler, Damon Wayans Jr., and Deon Cole. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Jeymes Samuel, who is also known for his work as a singer-songwriter and music producer. Samuel co-wrote the script with Boaz Yakin, an accomplished writer and director known for various action films.
Many characters in the movie are inspired by real historical figures from the American West, such as the legendary Bill Pickett, the formidable Stagecoach Mary, mountain man Jim Beckwourth, and outlaw Cherokee Bill. Notably, Shawn Carter, also known as Jay-Z, is among the producers and has contributed original music to the film.
The trailer captivates with stunning visuals that immerse viewers in the Wild West, combining traditional Western aesthetics with contemporary music and innovative cinematography.
