The first trailer for upcoming Netflix Western The Harder The Fall is now online, and this one looks like an absolute blast.
The teaser kicks-off with "Treacherous" Trudy Smith (Regina King), Cherokee Bill (LaKeith Stanfield), and their gang busting leader Rufus Buck (Idris Elba) out of jail, and it doesn't look like these guys have much interest in taking prisoners. From there, we're introduced to fellow outlaw Nat Love (Jonathan Majors), who sets off with former flame Stagecoach Mary (Zazie Beetz), Jim Beckwourth (R.J. Cyler), and Bill Pickett (Edi Gathegi) to seek vengeance against the ruthless Buck.
This modern spin on the Western genre features a primarily Black cast, and hails from director and producer Jeymes Samuel, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Boaz Yakin. Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, James Lassiter, and Lawrence Bender are on board as producers, and the all-star cast also includes Delroy Lindo, Damon Wayans Jr., Deon Cole, and Danielle Deadwyler.
Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think.
The Harder The Fall doesn't have a release fate yet, but we'll keep you updated.
