What a year it was in 2025 for Amy Madigan, who became one of the rare horror stars to take home an Oscar for Supporting Performance in Weapons. The critically acclaimed horror film earned scores of 93% from critics and 85% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes on its way to grossing $270 million at the box office against a relatively modest $38 million budget. It has since been confirmed that a Weapons prequel focused on Madigan’s Gladys is in the works, and it’s even been set for release on September 8, 2028. After winning an Oscar on her first nomination, though, Madigan isn’t slowing down, and is still busy starring in some high-profile projects.
One of the projects in question is Bull Street, a new character-driven drama set in the south and focused on legacy, resilience, and generational conflict. Collider is thrilled to partner with the distributor of Bull Street, Buffalo 8, to exclusively preview the first official trailer for the film, and also share some exciting details. Bull Street is coming to VOD platforms such as Fandango at Home on July 17, but the film will be available for pre-order this weekend, on June 19. Starring alongside Madigan in the film is Loretta Divine, and additional cast members include Malynda Hale, Arielle Prepetit, and Gary Ray Moore. Lynn Dow directed the film.
What Is ‘Bull Street’ About?
Buffalo 8 has released an official synopsis for Bull Street, which reads as follows: “Bull Street follows LouEster Sadie Gibbs (Hale), a small-town lawyer raised by her formidable grandmother, Mrs. Big-Gal (Devine). When an Ivy League attorney (Prepetit) challenges the family’s longstanding claim to their home and land, LouEster is thrust into a high-stakes courtroom battle where privilege collides with legacy. Presiding over the case, Judge Motley (Madigan) must determine whether generations of history are enough to secure her birthright.” Weapons has become known as the biggest project of Amy Madigan’s career, but she does have experience acting opposite other famous stars such as Kevin Costner, whom she teamed up with all the way back in 1989 for Field of Dreams. Madigan is also known for her role as McCoy in Streets of Fire, the 1984 romantic action thriller written and directed by Walter Hill.
