Andrew Garfield is ready to lead the revolution this fall in a forthcoming historical drama from Paul Greengrass.
Focus Features announced Wednesday that The Uprising is set to hit theaters domestically on Sept. 11. Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman and Katherine Waterston round out the cast.
The Uprising centers on the untold story of a rebellion against tyrannical King Richard II. Garfield stars as the leader of the rebellion that pits an army of commoners against the Crown in a battle for equity and survival.
Greengrass, whose recent features include The Lost Bus and News of the World, helmed the film from his own script. He produces alongside Gregory Goodman and Joanna Kaye. Also producing are Jason Blum for Blumhouse, Lars Sylvest for Thank You Pictures and Joe Neurauter for Supernix.
Other forthcoming projects from Focus include Robert Eggers’ Werwulf, hitting theaters on Christmas. Also on the horizon are Curry Barker’s horror title Obsession, Georgia Oakley’s new take on Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility, Anthony Maras’ World War II-focused Pressure and Hayley Kiyoko debut Girls Like Girls.
