Hello, Readers! The Harder They Fall, a Western drama starring Idris Elba and Lakeith Stanfield, premiered on October 22, 2021. The film is directed by Jeymes Samuel, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Boaz Yakin. It will be released on Netflix.
Jeymes Samuel, a British director, has always been a fan of old Westerns, but one thing he always pondered as a kid when he saw the classics with all the Black people. As he fabricates a fictitious vengeance tale full of action drama and fantastic music, Samuel has been able to rely on an extraordinarily brilliant cast to bring the historical figures to life – with Idris Elba, Jonathan Majors, and Regina King among the outstanding ensemble.
The film appears destined to be a genuine treat, with Jay-Z on board as a producer, some good early reviews, and an incendiary trailer.

“Those riding with him in this assured, righteously new school Western includes his former love Stagecoach Mary, his right and left-hand men — hot-tempered Bill Pickett and fast drawing Jim Beckwourth —and a surprising adversary-turned-ally. Rufus Buck has his fearsome crew, including ‘Treacherous’ Trudy Smith and Cherokee Bill, and they are not a group that knows how to lose.”
