featuring @andrew_garfield83
This year, Andrew Garfield is taking on a significant new role in a historical drama directed by Paul Greengrass, renowned for his work on the Jason Bourne series. The film, titled The Uprising, centers on a rebellion in medieval England and features a compelling ensemble cast. With an official release date set and anticipation growing, the movie is poised to make a notable impact upon its debut.
The Uprising is scheduled to premiere in U.S. theaters on September 11, distributed by Focus Features. Paul Greengrass, known for his intense storytelling and realistic approach, both directs and writes the film, which explores political conflict and human resilience during a time of upheaval. The production is led by Jason Blum, with Gregory Goodman and Joanna Kaye also serving as producers. Backed by Blumhouse and other partners, the film promises a gripping narrative rooted in history and human struggle (per The Hollywood Reporter).
Garfield stars as the leader of a revolt against King Richard II, portraying a key figure in a fight for justice and survival among common people challenging royal authority. The cast also includes Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, and Katherine Waterston. Known for his grounded, high-tension filmmaking style, Greengrass crafts a story that emphasizes political turmoil and human resilience. The screenplay is his original work, reflecting his personal creative vision.
This role marks another step in Garfield’s evolving career. He first gained international acclaim with The Social Network and became widely recognized as Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man series. In recent years, he has diversified his roles, starring in Hacksaw Ridge, Tick, Tick… Boom!, and We Live in Time. His upcoming projects include Artificial, in which he portrays OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Paul Greengrass brings his signature energy to the project. Known for directing fast-paced, realistic action films like The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Jason Bourne, he also has a strong track record in grounded historical dramas such as United 93 and Captain Phillips. His focus on real-world tension and human conflict makes him a fitting director for this intense medieval rebellion story.
