Idris Elba Joins a New Jay-Z Produced Western For Netflix Called THE HARDER THEY FALL

Idris Elba is set to star in a new Netflix film being produced by Jay-Z called The Harder They Fall. The film is a western and Elba will star alongside Jonathan Majors (Captive State).

The film follows outlaw Nat Love (Majors), “who discovers that the man (Elba) who killed his parents two decades ago is being released from prison and decides to reunite with his gang to track his enemy down and seek his revenge.”

The movie will be helmed by British musician Jeymes Samuel, known by his stage name, The Bullitts, this project will mark his feature film directorial debut. He previously worked with Jay-Z on The Great Gatsby soundtrack.”

Variety says that The Harder They Fall is expected to take a similar approach to incorporate music as The Great Gatsby.

While not many people cared for the adaptation of the fantasy western The Dark Tower, I loved Elba in the role of Roland, and it’s great to see him joining this revenge Western, which will tell more of a classic western revenge story.
