“Scorching Hot! Austin Butler and Tom Hardy Rev Up the Screen in ‘The Bikeriders’ – You Won’t Believe What Happens!

Austin Butler continues to expand his repertoire, this time venturing into the world of sexy 60s pin-ups by joining the cast of Jeff Nichols’ latest film, “The Bikeriders.” Following his captivating Oscar-nominated performance as Elvis Presley, the Australian actor now embraces the role of a biker gang member in this exciting project.

“The Bikeriders,” inspired by Danny Lyon’s renowned photo book of the same name, marks Jeff Nichols’ return to filmmaking since the success of “Loving” and “Midnight Special” in 2016. This highly-anticipated film had its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, and it’s already gaining momentum in the awards circuit. With a star-studded cast that includes Tom Hardy and Jodie Comer, this film promises a unique blend of allure and adrenaline rarely seen since “Titane.”

In “The Bikeriders,” Austin Butler portrays Benny, a character described as “wild” and “reckless,” while Tom Hardy takes on the role of Johnny, the gang’s leader. Their rivalry for the affections of Jodie Comer’s character, Kathy, adds an intriguing layer to the storyline. The ensemble cast also features talents like Mike Faist, Norman Reedus, Boyd Holbrook, and Michael Shannon, the latter of whom previously collaborated with Nichols in “Midnight Special.”

While Danny Lyon’s book primarily delves into the real Chicago Outlaws Motorcycle Club, Nichols’ film takes a fictional approach, narrated by Kathy to a young photographer inspired by Lyon. “The Bikeriders” unfolds over a decade, tracing the gang’s transformation from a carefree group to something far more perilous. Kathy’s inner conflict, torn between her love for her husband and her loyalty to Johnny, sets the stage for what promises to be a gripping, seductive, and edgy cinematic experience.

Film enthusiasts can mark their calendars, as “The Bikeriders” had its Telluride premiere and is slated for a US release on December 1st. While a UK release date is yet to be confirmed, the film is expected to be showcased at the London Film Festival in October for those who can’t wait to embark on this thrilling cinematic journey
