Unveiling ‘The Order’ at Venice Film Festival
Jude Law takes on the role of an FBI agent delving into the violent crimes of a white supremacist group in the thrilling new movie “The Order,” making its debut at the prestigious Venice Film Festival this Saturday.
The movie is based on Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt’s nonfiction book “The Silent Brotherhood” and stars Nicolas Hoult as Robert Jay Mathews, the enigmatic leader of the radical hate group that shocked the nation with their audacious crimes in 1983.
Law, who also produced the film, expressed his passion for the project, stating, “It’s a story that needed to be told. Discovering these hidden narratives from the past adds a unique perspective to our present reality.”
Accompanied by director Justin Kurzel and co-stars Hoult, Jurnee Smollett, and Tye Sheridan, Law brings Agent Huss to life, a character emblematic of the ongoing struggle against extremism and hate in society.
Director Kurzel aims to capture the essence of classic American thrillers from the 1970s in “The Order,” creating a gripping narrative that mirrors the complexities of our current world.
As the cast delves into the dark personas of the characters, the film unfolds a timely reflection on contemporary challenges, inviting viewers to engage with its deeper messages.
Highlighting the enduring presence of bigotry in American history and society, the film sparks essential conversations on the need to confront and learn from the past to build a better future.
Joining the lineup of competitive films at Venice, “The Order” promises an intense cinematic experience that resonates with audiences on a profound level.
Vertical Entertainment is set to release the film in theaters later this year, offering viewers a chance to witness this powerful story on the big screen.
