Jack White has revealed the trailer for Potsy Ponciroli’s nearly silent action film, Motor City, for which the Detroit rocker served as musical director. Watch it below.
Led by Reacher’s Alan Ritchson, Motor City is set in 1970s Detroit and only features four or five lines of dialogue, depending on whether you go by Ponciroli or co-star Ben Foster’s count. The trailer, soundtracked by Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” shows Ritchson’s John Miller being arrested after being set up by local gangster Reynolds (Foster).
“A working class romantic is framed by a ruthless gangster after falling for his girlfriend,” reads the official synopsis. “After years in prison, he returns with only one mission: revenge.”

Motor City premiered at the Venice Film Festival this weekend, but it currently doesn’t have a theatrical release date.
In other Jack White news, he recently got the attention of the White House after blasting the “disgusting” Oval Office decorations. In response to being called a “has-been loser,” White hit back with a lengthy Instagram post, saying that Trump is “masquerading” as a Christian, a leader, and a businessman. He also went after “professional liar toadies” like White House communications director Steven Cheung and press secretary Karoline Leavitt, for “covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism.”
