Jude Law Thriller ‘The Order’ Scared Distributors but Will Not Suffer Trumpian Zeitgeist in U.S. Release, Producer Stuart Ford Says


Jude Law thriller 'The Order' scared distributors but is not expected to suffer from Trumpian zeitgeist in U.S. release, says producer Stuart Ford.

The Justin Kurzel-directed film, in which Law plays an FBI agent fighting white supremacist terrorists in 1980s Idaho, is emblematic of how U.S. buyers are gun shy in general right now. Law puts in a powerful performance as a lone FBI agent who, following a series of increasingly violent bank robberies and car heists, comes to realize that they’re the work of a group of dangerous domestic neo-Nazi white suprematist terrorists. They are inspired by the real-life radical leader Robert Jay Mathews, played by Nicholas Hoult, and are plotting a war against the U.S. government.
