Widowsreunites McQueen with12 Years A Slaveproducer and financier New Regency. “Steve was interested in doing his own version of a gangster film,“saidNew Regency president and CEO Brad Weston. “It felt fresh to him to combine a contemporary, hard-hitting, very grounded gangster movie with four strong female characters. We loved it because that’s who Steve is. He sees things differently.” Weston added: “This project gives him the commercial jumping-off point, but then allows him to twist it into a Steve McQueen film.“WidowsopensNovember 16, 2018.
