The first trailer for The Uprising, directed by Paul Greengrass, has been released.
Earlier today, Focus Features released the first trailer for the upcoming film The Uprising, set to be released in theaters on September 11, 2026. The film stars Andrew Garfield and is based on the true story of the Peasant’s Revolt in 1381 (also known as Wat Tyler’s Rebellion).
Pushed to the edge by an overwhelming demand for more taxes, a revolt begins that threatens to bring the old order of things crashing down, as you can see in the trailer below:
The Uprising is summarized as follows:
Andrew Garfield stars as the legendary leader of a ferocious rebellion against the tyranny of King Richard II. As war burns across England, he forms an army of the people to face the King’s might in a fight for justice and survival.
The film stars: Andrew Garfield, Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, Katherine Waterston and Sky Yang.
The film looks beautiful, and I don’t know that there have been many films about the Peasant’s Revolt. It will be interesting to see how this story is brought to life.
