LFF KICKS OFF WITH ‘THE HARDER THEY FALL’!
6th October 2021
Idris Elba, Regina King and Jonathan Majors star in a “new-style Western out on Netflix this November! With an incredible cast and director Jeymes Samuel plus Shawn Carter ( JAY Z) behind it you can expect something very special. It’s action packed, with real life back in the day characters given a modern day twist and a soundtrack that bangs so hard.
Inspired by the real-life stories of African-American cowboys and featuring an all-star cast, Jeymes Samuel’s feature debut is an explosive and stylish Western quite unlike any other.
Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) has dedicated his life to hunting down members of the gang led by the vicious. Rufus Buck (Idris Elba), who murdered his parents in front of him. When Buck is released from jail by his associates Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield) and ‘Treacherous’ Trudy Smith (Regina King), Nat reunites his old posse, including ex-flame Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz) and unlikely ally Sheriff Bass Reeves (Delroy Lindo). As Nat closes in on his enemy, it looks like his day for revenge may finally be dawning. We are thrilled to host the World Premiere of The Harder They Fall, directed by London-born musician and filmmaker Jeymes Samuel (also known as The Bullitts). We fell head-over-heels in love with the film from its very first shoot-out.
‘The Harder They Fall’ is the opening film at this years LFF and earlier in the day the cast and crew took part in an exclusive press conference, enjoy!
