One thing you can always be sure of when Barry Keoghan has a new movie coming out is there’s going to be something interesting about it. That certainly looks like it’ll be the case once again with his latest movie, Bring Them Down, which sees him star opposite Christopher Abbott in a story about a family rivalry in the livestock industry.
Bring Them Down is a 2025 new movie in theaters, though it first screened during the 2024 fall film festival circuit, particularly the Toronto International Film Festival and the BFI London Film Festival. From that, the movie earned a pair of nominations from the British Independent Film Awards, including for Best Debut Director for Christopher Andrews.
With that helping to build some buzz for the indie drama, here’s everything you need to know about Bring Them Down.
Bring Them Down release date
Bring Them Down is set to premiere in US, UK and Ireland movie theaters on February 7.
That will be a good day for indie movie fans, as it is also going to see the release of movies like Armand, starring Renate Reinsve, and Parthenope, the latest movie from Paolo Sorrentino.
Bring Them Down cast
As mentioned, Barry Keoghan and Christopher Abbott lead the way in Bring Them Down, starring as the sons of two rival farming families. Keoghan is an Oscar-nominated actor for The Banshees of Inisherin and acclaimed for his roles in Saltburn and Masters of the Air. Abbott, meanwhile, has made his name with roles in movies like It Comes at Night, Possessor and, also in 2025, Wolf Man.
The rest of the Bring Them Down cast includes Nora-Jane Noone (Hidden Assets), Colm Meaney (Con Air) and Paul Ready (A Gentleman in Moscow).
