BFI London Film Festival: Opening Gala NIght

Warwick Arts Centre are thrilled to present a screening of Jeymes Samuel’s The Harder They Fall as part of the Opening Night Gala of the 65th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express and Netflix.

Audiences around the UK have the exclusive chance to see red-carpet footage from the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall and interviews with the film’s creators, streamed into your local cinema and followed by a special preview of The Harder They Fall.

When outlaw Nat Love (Jonathan Majors) discovers that his enemy Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) is being released from prison he rounds up his gang to track Rufus down and seek revenge. Those riding with him in this assured, righteously new school Western include his former love Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), his right and left hand men — hot-tempered Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) and fast drawing Jim Beckwourth (R.J. Cyler)—and a surprising adversary-turned-ally. Rufus Buck has his own fearsome crew, including 'Treacherous' Trudy Smith (Regina King) and Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield), and they are not a group that knows how to lose. Directed by Jeymes Samuel, written by Samuel and Boaz Yakin, produced by Shawn Carter, James Lassiter and Jeymes Samuel, and featuring a red hot soundtrack and a stunning all-star cast, including Jonathan Majors, Zazie Beetz, Delroy Lindo, LaKeith Stanfield, Danielle Deadwyler, Edi Gathegi, R.J. Cyler, Damon Wayans Jr., Deon Cole with Regina King and Idris Elba revenge has never been served colder.

This event will be preceded by red carpet footage from the premiere at BFI London Film Festival.
