It’s time to rev up your engines, folks, and put on your helmets. Austin Butler is gearing up to take all of us on the high-speed, high-risk world of “The Bikeriders.” Deco’s Alex Miranda is here to tell us more.
“The Bikeriders” explores the heyday of a 1960s motorcycle club, and with Austin Butler at the center, you know, it’s going to be a wild ride.
Are you ready for a wild ride? Then suit up in your best biker gear, because “The Bikeriders” are coming in fast.
Norman Reedus (as Funny Sonny): “Are you the man in charge?”
Tom Hardy (as Johnny): “I’m Johnny, we are The Vandals.”
The movie follows the true story of the rise and fall of The Vandals, a no-nonsense 1960s biker gang.
Tom Hardy (as Johnny): “What the hell were you thinking back there?”
Austin Butler (as Benny): “Nothing, I saw you squaring off with them guys. What do I need to think for?”
Tom Hardy (as Johnny): “Yeah, you and me kid.”
Austin Butler stars in the period piece as Benny, a biker torn between his passion for riding and the love of his life, Kathy.
Austin Butler: “He meets Kathy, who Jodie plays, and they fall in love and get married very quickly. But he always has one foot out of the covers.”
I get it, life choices can be hard. But accepting this role was anything but for actress Jodie Comer.
Jodie Comer: “Realizing that this script was based on a photography book, and these people were real, — you know, set in the 1960s, ’70s, about bikers\ — that was extremely enticing.”
Norman Reedus, who plays Danny in the film, has been practicing for this role since he was a child.
Norman Reedus: “I had a kid that sat next to me in class name Tune. He had a YZ80, and we became friends, and we would take turns on the bike and running from the police and stuff — killing the engines in between houses and waiting for cops to go by and go the other way.”
You can catch “The Bikeriders” in theaters on June 21.
