New International Poster & Images From ‘Lawless’ – Starring Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf & Jessica Chastain
Jul 23rd
This new French poster has landed online while MSN have posted six new images from John Hillcoat’s (The Road, The Proposition) upcoming prohibition crime-drama ‘Lawless.’ This film is without a doubt one of my anticipated films of 2012, it features a stellar cast in Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Guy Pearce, Dane DeHaan and Gary Oldman. Adapted from Matt Bondurant’s novel ‘The Wettest County in the World: A Novel Based on a True Story,’ ‘Lawless’ formerly went under the title ‘The Wettest County.’ The story follows the Bondurant brothers (played by Shia LaBeouf, Jason Clarke and Tom Hardy) who become bootleggers in the South during Prohibition. The screenplay for the movie is penned by frequent Hillcoat collaborator Nick Cave – who‘s also on soundtrack duty. Look out for ‘Lawless’ in cinemas August 29th in the US and September 7th in the UK. Check out my interview with Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Guy Pearce for the film here.
‘We control the fear, you understand? Without the fear, we are all good as dead.’ Acclaimed director John Hillcoat (THE ROAD, THE PROPOSITION) delivers a thrillingly vivid slice of American outlaw history in his epic gangster tale, LAWLESS. LAWLESS is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: three bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. Based on author Matt Bondurant’s fictionalized account of his family, “The Wettest County in the World,” the film gathers an ensemble of gifted, dynamic new-generation stars – Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Mia Wasikowska, Dane DeHaan – alongside two of the finest actors of their generations, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman. A riveting, intense story of crime and corruption, loyalty and love, brutality and tenderness, LAWLESS is a rich addition to the American gangster canon. In the mountains of Franklin County, Virginia, the Bondurant brothers are the stuff of legend. The eldest, Howard (Jason Clarke), managed to survive the carnage of the Great War, but he returned home unmoored by what he had seen and done. His brother Forrest (Tom Hardy) nearly died from the Spanish Flu that took his parents. He beat back death with a quiet strength and ferocious, visceral invincibility that came to define him. Jack (Shia LaBeouf) is the youngest sibling, impressionable, sensitive, smart. Times are tough and jobs are scarce, but the Bondurants are entrepreneurs and have built a thriving local business by concocting an intense and popular brand of moonshine. But Franklin County’s bootlegging days are about to end with the arrival of Special Deputy Charlie Rakes (Guy Pearce) from Chicago. The new “law” Rakes brings is lethal and corrupt and will challenge everything the brothers have built and represent. But while the rest of the county gives in to Rakes’ ruthless crackdown, the Bondurants will bow to no one.

Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf & Guy Pearce Interview For John Hillcoat’s ‘Lawless’
May 19th
Gangster meets Western in ‘Lawless,’ the true story of the freewheelin’ Bondurant brothers, bootlegging siblings taking the law into their own hands. This is the story of the rural hard-men that created the big city gangsters. Brazen and fearless, these young rebel brothers helped build the American Dream in this exuberant tale of what was to become crime’s first major gold rush. The youngest brother, Jack (Shia LaBeouf), fancies himself the next Al Capone; he dreams of sharp suits, guns, girls and fast cars, no matter the cost. Ambitious and impulsive, he takes the family’s small-scale moonshining operation to the big leagues, to impress the gorgeous but off-limits Amish girl, Bertha (Mia Wasikowska). The middle brother, Howard (Jason Clarke), is the brawling muscle – loyal but reckless – never one to turn down a taste of white lightning. And eldest brother, Forrest (Tom Hardy), reluctantly accepts the changing times with grace and grit, leading the family with strength of character and silent determination against the beginnings of corporate greed. An enigmatic and stunning Maggie (Jessica Chastain) comes to town with a hidden past, igniting his passion and almost saving him in the process. As the Bondurants’ legend grows, so too does the danger, and it’s not long before the brothers must face the consequences of their transgressions, or rewrite the myth and the law themselves. ‘Lawless’ arrives in cinemas August 31st, it also stars Guy Pearce, Dane DeHaan and Gary Oldman.
Working with Gary Oldman in ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,’ ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ and with this, ‘Lawless.’ How has that experience been? I know he’s someone you admire.
Tom Hardy: With ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,’ the first time I worked with Gary Oldman, I had to watch him because we had to re-shoot….because my beard fell off while I was talking (laughs). So we had to go back and re-shoot the entire scene that I had with him in that, in ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.’ Which is good because I spent my entire experience with Gary staring at him, and not returning any lines, because I think he’s basically God, you know? The second time, on ‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ as Bane, I was kind of playing God, so I kind of ignored him, kicked him a bit, that kind of thing (laughs). But Gary Oldman is one of my heroes, completely. I did nothing but gleam from him.
