Widows (2018) Trailer: Steve McQueen heist flick starring Viola Davis and Michelle Rodriguez

This could be McQueen's Prisoners, the film that takes him out of his critic darling arthouse wheelhouse and have studios trust him with some real money projects.

I agree. Though I'm sure this has a much higher budget than prisoners had. Already has much more of a big studio gloss. Could not find the budget anywhere online though.

55 million, before tax incentives in Illinois.

Where you find that breh? seems low given the caliber of the cast but also sounds reasonable

New Regency financed the film, FOX distributing through their output deal. A lot of actors took paycuts to be in the film with McQueen. The actual budget was on IMDBpro for a while, but it may have gone up a bit in post, as they were doing ADR for the film as late as early July.

Kaluuya winning the Oscar @Ziggiy
@mastermind @NobodyReally

Kaluuya barely moves his eyebrows. He moves through scenes with a terminator-like efficiency, calmly extracting information from his victims as they scream and bleed. It’s a world away from the baffled survivor that scored Kaluuya an Oscar nomination for “Get Out,” and further proof that this major screen talent is just getting started."

Daniel Kaluuya, very scary

'Widows': Film Review | TIFF 2018

Kaluuya is absolutely brilliant, and any hesitation that he could be typecast after "Get Out," are thrown out of the window with a frightening performance that feels commanding and expertly delivered.

played as a scary slit-eyed sociopath by Daniel Kaluuya, from “Get Out” — taking random stabs at a man in a wheelchair to get the information he wants

Toronto Film Review: Viola Davis in ‘Widows’

a standout Daniel Kaluuya brings toxic menace to every scene he’s in, as a man hot on their heels, simmering with violence

Widows review – Steve McQueen dazzles with masterful thriller

Kaluuya brings to life one of the most terrifying villains in recent memory in a full 180 from his Oscar-nominated Get Out performance

‘Widows’ Review: A Masterful, Crowdpleasing Heist Thriller | TIFF 2018

Kaluuya is mesmerizing, with his insistent physicality and the sinister purr of voice. He’s got a great, malleable face too, capable of wide-eyed alarm, as in Get Out, and the hood-lidded, bored-with-your-human-mortality menace he does here. He’s the movie’s cool and idiosyncratic articulation, its grimness flecked with a wicked glint.

violent, creepy brother Jatemme (Daniel Kaluuya, doing so much with so little – he lets his scary silent glances do a lot of the heavy lifting).

Steve McQueen's 'Widows' Is A Stylish Thriller Starring Viola Davis [TIFF Review]

The distinguishing, and perhaps unsurprising element - given McQueen’s strong characterisation in the past – is that each of the film’s many characters comes fully-formed. Certainly, the women all have their stories, but so do the men – Farrell and Neeson are anchored in their swamps. Kaluuya, however – he’s just mad, bad and extremely dangerous to know
