Andrew Garfield & Focus Features Nearing Deals To Join Paul Greengrass Peasant Revolt Movie ‘The Rage’: Cannes Market


Andrew Garfield & Focus Features Nearing Deals To Join Paul Greengrass Peasant Revolt Movie ‘The Rage’: Cannes Market Hot Project.

Two-time Oscar nominee Andrew Garfield is now in active negotiations to join the movie in the lead role, taking over from Matthew McConaughey. It has been speculated the character could be based on the legendary Wat Tyler, who led the uprising before being killed by forces loyal to King Richard, though this is unconfirmed. It’s at the Cannes Festival with Wes Anderson’s Phoenician Scheme and The History Of Sound and there are high hopes later this year for movies such as Hamnet, Bugonia, and the next Downton Abbey installment.
