‘Tulsa King’ Star, 59, Is Knocking on Heaven’s Door in New ‘Guns & Moses’ Trailer

Mark Feuerstein is a rabbi who’s coming after anti-Semitism with guns blazing in the new trailer for Guns & Moses. Neal McDonough, Christopher Lloyd, and Dermot Mulroney also star in this neo-Western thriller. The film will be released exclusively in theaters on July 18.

As the trailer opens, Mo Zaltzman (Feuerstein, Royal Pains) is the rabbi of a synagogue in a remote desert community that’s about to be revitalized by a new solar power project spearheaded by businessman Alan Rosner (Mulroney, Anyone But You) with the full support of Mayor Donovan Kirk (McDonough, Tulsa King). However, the town’s happiness is shattered by a violent attack on the temple, which is seemingly perpetrated by a local neo-Nazi, Clay Gibbons (Jackson Dunn, Brightburn). Gibbons and his father Owen (Jake Busey, Stranger Things), maintain Clay’s innocence, while, with the encouragement of his wife (Alona Tal, Cross), Mo starts carrying a gun. But all is not as it seems, and as Rabbi Zaltzman starts digging into the case, it seems that there’s much more at play than a lone racist…and that someone doesn’t want him to find out the truth, culminating in a deadly shootout at a solar farm.

What Else Hits Theaters on July 21?

Sandwiched between superhero blockbusters Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, July 18 offers a plethora of movies hitting the theaters, representing a wide range of genres. For animation fans, The Smurfs are headed back to the big screen; this time, Rihanna will voice Smurfette. For the horror hounds, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr. are back as a hook-handed killer menaces a new generation of teenagers in I Know What You Did Last Summer. For the art-house crowd, Ari Aster returns with Eddington, his sure-to-be-controversial pandemic satire starring Pedro Pascal and Joaquin Phoenix. July 18 also brings a pair of lower-profile releases in the form of the black comedy mystery Atrabilious, with Alec Baldwin, Whoopi Goldberg, and Jeffrey Wright, and Saint Clare, which stars Bella Thorne as a teenage serial killer.

Guns & Moses was directed by Salvador Litvak (When Do We Eat?), from a script by Litvak and his wife, Nina Davidovich Litvak. The film was inspired by the 2019 synagogue shooting at Chabad of Poway in California. Says Litvak, “This film is more than a story – it’s a conversation we need to be having. Every moment on set carried the weight of real lives at stake.”

Guns & Moses will be released in theaters on July 18. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
