Fresh from blowing open the London Film Festival with his irrepressible Netflix title The Harder They Fall, director Jeymes Samuel came to Deadline’s Contenders Film: London today for a lively panel with his leading man, Jonathan Majors. Set in the American West around the turn of the last century, the film stars Majors as outlaw Nat Love. When Love discovers that an old enemy is out of prison, he reunites his gang to seek revenge on the man who killed his parents. Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz, Regina King, Delroy Lindo, Lakeith Stanfield and RJ Cyler round out the cast — and just to add to the film’s impressive star wattage, the original music was composed by R&B legend Jay-Z, who also produced.
