Summary
Andrew Garfield said billionaires should be "scared shitless" by The Uprising, arguing at a recent Q&A that the film should galvanize audiences and spark an awakening.
The Sept. 10 release follows Garfield's 14th-century rebel, Ploughman, as he raises an army against King Richard II, with director Paul Greengrass saying its call for healing remains true 600 years later.
Garfield tied the story's brutal taxation, abusive rule and dehumanization of the underclass to conditions "here and in the United States, and all around the world."
He also called the film a political "Rorschach Test," warning that even far-right viewers could try to claim its message while he framed the project around justice and healing.
