Regency Enterprises and 20th Century Fox has released the first trailer for Widows and it looks like a film that’s not to be missed when it arrives in November.
The modern-day thriller is co-written and directed by Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen with Gone Girl‘s Gillian Flynn also taking on writing duties. The film unites a group of four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands’ criminal activities.
Crime, passion, and corruption frame the story that’s based on the book by Lynda La Plante. After their husbands die, Veronica (Viola Davis), Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) and Belle (Cynthia Erivo) are forced to take their fate into their own hands and conspire to forge a future on their own terms. The best thing they have going for themselves, as Davis’ Veronica notes, is “no one thinks we have the balls to pull this off.”
Widows also stars Liam Neeson, Colin Farrell, Robert Duvall, Daniel Kaluuya, Jacki Weaver, Lukas Haas and Brian Tyree Henry.
The ladies of Widows hits screens on November 16.
