Austin Butler & Jodie Comer Explain The Cultural Context Of The Vandals Evolution In The Bikeriders
Screen Rant interviewed stars Austin Butler and Jodie Comer about their new movie, The Bikeriders. Butler broke down the evolution of the Vandals and how it reflected the culture of the country at that time. Comer discussed the loyalty of the Vandals members and finding Kathy’s unique voice.
Kathy and Benny are drawn to one another after a chance meeting at a local bar in The Bikeriders. However, as the newest member of the Vandals, which is run by the enigmatic Johnny, being close to Benny means being drawn into the world of the Midwestern motorcycle club.
As the club evolves from a place for motorcycle enthusiasts to find a sense of community into an underworld of violence and danger, Benny will be forced to choose between the Vandals and Kathy.
The Bikeriders was written and directed by Jeff Nichols based on Danny Lyon’s acclaimed photo book of the same name. Nichols was influenced by both the visuals and the insightful interviews. The Bikeriders captures not only this era in American history but also the dark evolution of the Vandals motorcycle club.
The cast was able to find inspiration from interviews in the book as well as audio of said interviews. The Bikeriders features a powerhouse cast led by Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy, and Norman Reedus
