Focus Features has launched the trailer for the historical drama "The Uprising" headlined by Andrew Garfield. According to the movie's logline, Garfield portrays the epoch-making leader who ignites a vehement uprising against the oppressive rule of King Richard II.

Greengrass' latest venture prior to this was the disaster thriller "The Lost Bus," featuring Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. His directorial portfolio also boasts titles such as "News of the World," "22 July," "Green Zone," "Captain Phillips" and "United 93," for which he landed a best directing Oscar nomination.
