The Uprising gets September release date The Uprising is set to arrive in U.S. theaters on September 11 through Focus Features. The film is directed and written by Paul Greengrass, known for his sharp, intense storytelling style in films like the Jason Bourne series. It is produced by Jason Blum along with Gregory Goodman and Joanna Kaye, with additional backing from Blumhouse and other production partners (via The Hollywood Reporter).

Andrew Garfield leads the cast as the central figure in a revolt against King Richard II. The story follows a group of common people who rise up against royal authority in a fight tied to survival and fairness. The film also features Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, and Katherine Waterston.

Greengrass, who has built a reputation for grounded, high-tension filmmaking, shapes the story around political conflict and human struggle. The film is based on his original screenplay, adding his personal creative control over both writing and direction. Garfield continues to expand his range as an actor with this role.

He first gained global attention with The Social Network and later became widely known as Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man films. In recent years, he has moved between commercial and serious dramatic roles, including Hacksaw Ridge, Tick, Tick… Boom!, and We Live in Time. His upcoming projects also include Artificial, where he plays OpenAI CEO, Sam Altman.

Paul Greengrass brings a different kind of energy to the project. He is best known for directing The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum, and Jason Bourne, films recognized for their fast pace, action, and realism. He has also directed grounded historical dramas like United 93 and Captain Phillips, showing his focus on real-world tension and human conflict.
