Academy Award winner Steve McQueen is back, and boy does his new film look good!
Set in present day Chicago, Widows tells the story of four women who share nothing but a debt left behind by their now dead husbands’ criminal activities. With nothing more than the plans for their next heist, Veronica must lead the female quartet to do the unthinkable and reclaim their future.
The film’s new trailer is nothing short of masterful, showcasing a strong sense of style and tone, setting the stage for a modern-day thriller that is dark, cold and intense. Granted, it doesn’t hurt that Viola Davis is Violet, the perceived film’s lead, and the story is co-written by Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), based on the book by Lynda La Plante.
In what can only be described as the juggernaut of all casts, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, Cynthia Erivo, Colin Farrell, Brian Tyree Henry, Daniel Kaluuya, Jacki Weaver, Jon Bernthal, Robert Duvall and Liam Neeson co-star with Davis, giving this film more star power than a typical Marvel blockbuster.
Widows will make its world premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival before hitting theaters on November 16.
