First Looks At Tom Hardy On The Set Of ‘Animal Rescue’
Mar 22nd
These first images have arrived online of Tom Hardy on the set of Michael R. Roskam’s (Bullhead) ‘Animal Rescue.’ Co-starring Noomi Rapace, Matthias Schoenaerts, James Gandolfini, John Ortiz and James Frecheville, the film focuses on a man (Tom Hardy) who wants to shed his criminal path but somehow gets mixed up in a bad heist and a killing resulting from a lost and contested pit bull. Rapace will play Nadia, a woman with a scar across her entire neck who crosses paths with the protagonist when he finds a wounded puppy outside her home.
Chernin Entertainment and Mike Larocca are producing ‘Animal Rescue,’ which author Dennis Lehane adapted from his own short story that first appeared in ‘Boston Noir.’ ‘Animal Rescue’ is shooting in New York, where Fox Searchlight is relocating the story rather than film in Massachusetts, where Lehane adaptations ‘Mystic River,’ ‘Shutter Island’ and ‘Gone Baby Gone’ all took place.
