I believe that’s why he’s fully able to grasp who the characters in The Bikeridersare. He approaches the story through character, not through narrative plot. They’re not chess pieces, he said. Nichols told me that in deciding to make the film he was looking for patterns in society “and in humans, things we do, things we know we do. Sometimes we admit to them. Sometimes we don’t. I saw this pattern of people feeling like they don’t quite belong here in the mainstream, so they move to the outside. And that’s where the really interesting stuff starts to exist and starts to be created.” The great news is that this is just a small list of some of the fantastic books about cycling out there, and we aim to keep this list as our favourite reads across a variety of categories.Later on, his dad owned a piano store and then became a furniture salesman. Nichols found the land of his parents “beautiful and exotic” and he explained that his kin are “great storytellers and they’re great people. And it would be easy, and a tad lazy, to label The Bikeridersas a picture-book movie (Adam Stone’s cinematography is undeniably sublime) about pretty boys on their fast, gleaming choppers.

Perhaps, it has something to do with the fact that I don’t come from here [America]. I am not an American, though I do have family in Nashville, Tennessee, and in Washington D.C. But more than any other American film I have seen in a long time, I felt that The Bikeriderstook me to the heart of what’s going on in the UnitedStates. It’s a movie that has helped me try to fathom why,” as Nichols put it, “there’s darkness everywhere and there’s evil everywhere.” Rubin, Rebecca (October 17, 2023).

Doping for money and glory to keep his status, Millar was arrested when it was discovered that he was using performance enhancing drugs. Five years on, Millar wrote this book and opened up about his dark days. I didn't see "The Bikeriders" until years after it was published, when I ran across it in a college library. Often compared to Robert Franks' "The Americans" or Larry Clark's "Tulsa" for its' grit and immersion in the subject, Danny Lyon’s book of photography was sort of a companion piece to Hunter Thompson's "Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga" - firsthand New Journalism reporting about life on "The Edge", seemingly casual but with a whiff of latent violence in every breath, ready to catch a spark and ignite. Thompson rode a BSA Lightning 650, Lyon rode a Triumph TR6 and the bikers rode Harley Davidsons, but what really separated the reporters from their subjects was violence and the fear of violence. The confidence they enjoyed from the outsiders who allowed them access to an insular tribe was provisional. The threat of violence was an existential fact for the initiated, and the reporters’ option to step away to safety put them at an arm's length. They would never have as much skin in the game, but their provisional status membership in that tribe was highly valued by them. From beginning to end, the visual beauty of the film pays tribute to the source material, and in key moments such as a nighttime conversation between Johnny and Benny about succession, Stone’s mastery lends a cinematic intensity. The DP wraps the men’s faces in ink-dark shadow and gold-tinged light, as Hardy’s deeply internalized performance hits a new register. But it’s a middle-of-the-day face-to-face between Johnny and Kathy that presents the toughest challenge. Referring to the husband who insists he can’t quit the Vandals, her eyes blaze. “He is mine, Johnny,” she says. Whether she believes it is another matter.

I’d go up to him and I’d be like, ‘See, you’ve got to stop smiling so much.’ He’d be like, ‘Oh, okay, Jeff.’ I’d be like, ‘No, you’re doing it again. Stop being so charming.’ But he has an aura around him. When you have that aura combined with the work ethic and the talent that guy’s going to the moon,” he declared.

Nichols told me that he called Adam Driver, who starred with Comer in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel, to ask what she was like to work with.As of 4 Aug, three heavyweight actors have been confirmed to star in the upcoming film, according to Deadline: Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, and Austin Butler. Much of Kathy’s narration/conversation is taken from Lyon’s interviews for his oral history, and Comer delivers it with an Upper Midwest accent in high gear. That’s a distracting aural reality, but in Comer’s gaze the character’s canny strength, insight and amazement at the life she’s ended up leading, when she “used to be respectable,” lend unexpected shadings to the role. Unlike, say, The Godfather, in this chronicle of a group of men who operate off the mainstream grid, a woman’s voice is front and center. Jodie Comer hails from Liverpool and there’s something in the Mersey river over there that gives people, women in particular, a certain strength. Comer channels that strength into her acting. Sure, she excelled in Killing Evebut you’d understand more about what I’m talking about if you’d seen her hold the stage inSuzie Miller’s one-woman play Prima Faciethat played in London’s West End and on Broadway, winning her the Laurence Olivier Award and the Tony Award for best performance by an actress. The thing I created more than anything was the love triangle and how interesting for it not to be these two guys fighting over a girl, but to be this woman and this leader of this club fighting over this young man.”

Front and center are Butler as devastatinglyhandsome biker Benny; Comer as down-to-earth Kathy, unvarnished and clear-eyed, she sees through the biker bullshit; and Hardy as Johnny, the leader who kinda wants to be Benny. If you don't know this tragic story, then this really is a must read. Even if you know it but haven't read this book, then do as it gives such a detailed insight as to how it happened and why.

Principal photography began in Cincinnati, Ohio in October 2022 and concluded that December. [11] [12] Release [ edit ] Nichols told me his dad was raised by a single mom. “And so they came out of a very working-class place. That’s where our grandparents lived. That’s where we grew up.” It's been quite the year for Comer already. Fresh from her Emmy nomination for " Killing Eve", she blew audiences away with her performance in the National Theatre's one-woman play "Prima Facie". The play was broadcast across cinemas and has become the highest-grossing release in UK cinemas since the pandemic. Comer is taking it to Broadway next spring. She also won the leading actress BAFTA in May for her role in Channel 4's "Help". She is also starring in apocalyptic thriller "The End We Start From", produced by Benedict Cumberbatch, with production starting this month. My point being that Comer was born to play Kathy in The Bikeriders. I heard a couple of people moan that she didn’t accurately capture the right American accent. I couldn’t give a fig about that.
