We now have an exciting first look at Andrew Garfield's upcoming historical drama film The Uprising – and alongside the powerful trailer, we now also have a confirmed release date.
The Uprising is confirmed to be coming to cinemas on 11 September, so we really don't have long to wait.
Coming from director Paul Greengrass of the Bourne film franchise and Captain Phillips fame, it was always a given that The Uprising would be action-packed and tense. But boy, does the trailer go ahead and prove that tenfold.
The trailer opens with Garfield as a farmer, ploughing his land and admitting that they've all been forced to work "beyond what our souls can take" for the sake of King Richard II (Woody Norman). The 14-year-old King has ordered everyone to pay taxes but even though nobody has anything left to give, incoming soldiers turn to more sinister actions as they start to attack a girl from the village.

We soon see that he's leading rebel armies to go to London to find the King, becoming known as The Ploughman.
"There will be no peace until we are free," he says and we soon see impressive shots of tens of thousands of people converging on the streets of London in order to attack the King. And as the epic fight sequences get underway, it's clear that this is set to be a film that could very well keep us on the edge of our seats.
Watch the trailer for yourself below.

The revolt was led by Wat Tyler, who led rebels across Canterbury to London to demand reforms and reject the poll tax. Although not named as Wat Tyler in the trailer, Garfield is clearly embodying the character but may simply be known as The Ploughman for the duration of the film.
Garfield is known for a variety of roles over the years and is no stranger to a knottier one, having starred in the likes of Under the Banner of Heaven, We Live in Time, Tick, Tick... Boom! and of course, the Amazing Spider-Man films.

Nevertheless, Garfield looks as though he's going to deliver quite the standout performance in The Uprising and is also supported by quite the stellar cast also, who we can catch glimpses of in the trailer.
Garfield is joined by the likes of Tom Hollander (The Night Manager), Jamie Bell (Half Man), Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones), Cosmo Jarvis (Shōgun), Thomasin McKenzie (Fallout), Jonny Lee Miller (Possession) and Katherine Waterson (The Agency).
