Big day for Arkansas director, Jeff Nichols! It was just announced that he will be directing The Bikeriders, a film inspired by the 1967 book of the same name by Danny Lyon as well as his photography.
This film will feature an absolutely stacked cast consisting of Tom Hardy, Austin Butler, and Jodie Comer with Nichols spearheading the project.
Set in the 1960s and following the evolution of a fictional Midwestern motorcycle club over the course of a decade, this will be a fantastic production to keep an eye out for.
