“What if we just walk away? But then I was like, ‘Nah…'” Netflix has revealed the first official trailer for Rebel Ridge, an intense action thriller film set for release in September streaming on Netflix. Alas this one is skipping festivals & theaters entirely. Rebel Ridge is the latest from acclaimed director Jeremy Saulnier, known for his indie hits Murder Party, Blue Ruin, Green Room, and Hold the Dark previously. In this new one, an ex-Marine grapples his way through a web of small-town corruption when an attempt to post bail for his cousin escalates into a violent standoff with the local police chief. Bring it on, Saulnier. A “deeply human yet high-velocity thriller that explores corruption and morality in the context of bone-breaking action and ever-coiling suspense.” Hell yes! Starring Aaron Pierre (of “Krypton”, Old, Brother) as Terry Richmond, with Don Johnson, AnnaSophia Robb, David Denman, Emory Cohen, Steve Zissis, Zsané Jhé, Dana Lee, and James Cromwell. Ohhh yes this looks like a DAMN good time! I’ll definitely be watching.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Jeremy Saulnier’s Rebel Ridge, direct from Netflix’s YouTube:
Terry Richmond (Aaron Pierre) enters the town of Shelby Springs on a simple but urgent mission– post bail for his cousin and save him from imminent danger. But when Terry’s life savings is unjustly seized by law-enforcement, he’s forced to go head to head with local police chief Sandy Burnne (Don Johnson) and his combat-ready officers. Terry finds an unlikely ally in court clerk Summer McBride (AnnaSophia Robb) and the two become ensnared in a deep-rooted conspiracy within the remote township. As the stakes turn deadly, Terry calls upon his mysterious background to break the department’s hold on the community, bring justice to his own family– and protect Summer in the process. Rebel Ridge is written and directed by American indie filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier, director of the films Murder Party, Blue Ruin, Green Room, and Hold the Dark previously, plus a few eps of “True Detective” (Season 3). It’s produced by Anish Savjani, Neil Kopp, Vincent Savino, Jeremy Saulnier. This hasn’t premiered at any festivals or elsewhere. Netflix will debut Saulnier’s Rebel Ridge streaming on Netflix starting September 6th, 2024 coming soon. Who’s in?
