Motorcycle gangs don't really interest me particularly, but I like the cast. May watch at some point.

I dig it.

Director has a few good movies under his belt, like the cast and setting.

Hm, I haven't seen anything he's done.

I think I intended to watch Midnight Special back in the day, but never got around to it.

Loving, Midnight Special and Mud are all worth watching.

Midnight Special and Take Shelter are both very odd and I like them both. This looks like his most "normal" film to date.

Reading that this director had plans to do a Aquaman movie, Would've gone with the Hook hand version.

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Tom Hardy’s pseudo Marlon Brando voice in this. Well I’m mentioning it.

Noticed Michael Shannon is in the movie and doesn't even get his name on the trailer.

Wow, really?
Is it that small a part maybe?

That's a good point. He's been in some big stuff and definitely deserves top billing. Maybe his part isn't very big?

The Bikeriders’ Being Shopped to Rival Studios After Disney Takes Film Off Calendar

Well that’s weird. 🤨

Does this mean it's going to be another tax write-off or something and we'll never see it?

This shit is getting old.

Been reading this movie was getting Oscar buzz too back in September

so much that happening now.

It's New Regency that have made the decision to sell it away from Disney. My guess is Disney were wanting to limit its cinematic release window then put in onto D+ as quickly as possible and New Regency wanted a longer run.

I read the cast learnt a period Chigo accent based on recordings from the 60's.

^^^I can see that leading to a rift.

The official line is because Disney wanted it released on Dec 1st and New Regency wanted to delay because they've not been able to promote it properly because of the strikes. I'm presuming Disney is desperate for releases that actually make a profit.
