IN THE PIPELINE: First Trailer For Russo Brothers-Produced ’21 Bridges’ Landing Very Soon

The first trailer for the Brian Kirk (Games of Thrones)-directed and Russo Brothers-produced thriller 21 Bridges has been rated today by Consumer Protection BC, likely to go theatrically next week ahead of the brothers’ Avengers: Endgame!

We expect it online some time in the next seven days – in the meantime, check out some of the reactions to the footage screened earlier this month at CinemaCon below:

#cinemacon2019 first look at 21 Bridges looks like an intense thrilling action movie from the 90s set in a quarantined Manhattan while @chadwickboseman is seeking to capture a criminal on the run who killed cops. Produced @Russo_Brothers.

STX Films just rolled out a trailer for 21 Bridges. It stars Chadwick Boseman, and it produced by the Russo Brothers.

And it looks like New York’s The Town, kind of. Other words: it looks awesome.

It’s a cat-and-mouse thing where the cops shut down all ways in and out of Manhattan (including the titular bridges) to find some killers/track down a huge shipment of coke. Looked rad.

#21Bridges: In order to stop a pair of cop killers from escaping Manhattan, a cop (Chadwick Boseman) orders bridges closed and all MTA transportation shut down. So…
a Tuesday. #CinemaCon2019

After playing 21 Bridges footage, @chadwickboseman is on stage talking about success – he chose to do 21 Bridges because of a combination of having a fast paced action movie and the fast intense dialogue which takes him back to his theater days. He also really wanted to produce.

Just saw a trailer for 21 Bridges with Chadwick Boseman, which looks like a solid cop thriller and good starring vehicle for Boseman. Taylor Kitsch as the key villain is a bonus and supporting cast includes Sienna Miller and JK Simmons. Looks like an old school 90s cop actioner.

Thrust into a citywide manhunt for a pair of cop killers, a disgraced NYPD detective uncovers a massive and unexpected conspiracy. As the night unfolds, lines become blurred on who he is pursuing, and who is in pursuit of him. When the search intensifies, extreme measures are taken to prevent the killers from escaping Manhattan as the authorities close all the bridges to prevent any entry or exit from the iconic island.

Starring Chadwick Boseman, J. K. Simmons, Sienna Miller, Taylor Kitsch, Stephan James and Keith David, the film is released July 12 in the U.S., followed by August 23 in the UK.
