Premise

In the town of Shelby Springs, Terry Richmond has come to post bail for his cousin but his savings are unjustly seized by a corrupt local police force led by Chief Sandy Burnne. With the help of court clerk Summer McBride, Terry unearths a widespread conspiracy within Shelby Springs and uses his particular sets of “skills” to get the bail money back by any means necessary.

Cast

Production

It was announced in November 2019 that John Boyega was cast in the film, written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier.[1] Don Johnson, Erin Doherty, James Badge Dale, Zsane Jhe and James Cromwell were added to the cast in February 2020.[2] In April 2021, AnnaSophia Robb, and Emory Cohen joined the cast of the film, with Robb replacing Doherty.[3]

Filming was slated to begin in April 2020 in Louisiana,[4] but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Principal photography eventually began in Louisiana on May 3, 2021.[6] In June 2021, Boyega left the project during filming due to "family reasons". Filming paused as a result in order to find a replacement for Boyega.[7] It was later reported that Boyega had allegedly abandoned the project due to a variety of reasons, including his dissatisfaction with the script and his accommodations, although Boyega denied such allegations.[8] In October, Aaron Pierre was cast to replace Boyega, with Zsane Jhe also joining the cast.[9] Filming was due to resume in early 2022.[10]

In April 2022, David Denman was added to the cast, before production restarted on April 25.[11] Production wrapped shooting on July 24.[12] In March 2024, Saulnier offered an update on the film saying it was in the final stages of post-production and that a release date had not yet been set.[13]

Release

Rebel Ridge is scheduled to be released on Netflix on September 6, 2024.[14]
