Director Steve McQueen is gearing up to release what one respected movie site is calling “a blistering, modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption.” Sounds very promising.
“Widows” will star Oscar winner Viola Davis and Tony Award winner Cynthia Erivo has joined the cast. According to Shadow and Act, the film will tell the story of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands’ criminal activities. The ladies end up conspiring to forge a new future on their own terms.
The rest of the cast includes Brian Tyree Henry, Get Out star Daniel Kaluuya, Elizabeth Debicki, Michelle Rodriguez, Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, and Lukas Haas. Steve McQueen will be working with best-selling author Gillian Flynn of Gone Girl and Girl on a Train.
Polish up the Oscars now with this cast.
We'll be waiting a while for this one guys. It won't hit theaters until November 16, 2018.
