The film is directed by Londoner Jeymes Samuel and will debut on the 6 October at the LFF gala venue the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, with Samuel expected to attend along with key cast including Majors, Beetz, King and Idris Elba. You can check out the film’s fun, Tarantino-esque first trailerThere will also be simultaneous preview screenings of the movie at cinemas across the UK. The film will debut on Netflix on November 3 following a theatrical release in UK cinemas.
Tricia Tuttle, BFI London Film Festival Director said: “Jeymes Samuel has come out with both guns blazing with his lightning-paced, witty and phenomenally entertaining new western,. This is brutal and funny genre filmmaking, sometimes making you chuckle and gasp in the same breath, while each of its mega stars absolutely burns up the screen, working to a cleverly written script from Samuel and Boaz Yakin that reveals the tenderness even in the darkest villainous heart.
Festival venues this edition will include BFI Southbank and the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall, which will be its main hub, and West End sites. The festival is expected to take place as a hybrid event with some movies showing in cinemas in London and across the UK as others available on the BFI Player. The program launch program will take place on Tuesday 7 September, 2021.
