Tom Hardy is going to star in
Kathryn Bigelow‘s upcoming film
The True American.
According to The Wrap, Kathryn Bigelow will direct an adaptation of Anand Giridharadas’s nonfiction book The True American: Murder and Mercy in Texas, with Tom Hardy attached as the lead and Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures set to produce. The book tells the story of Mark Stroman, a self-proclaimed “American terrorist” (presumably Hardy) who shoots and nearly kills a Bangladeshi immigrant in a Dallas minimart, and the intertwining lives of the two men in the following decades.
Excuse to post a picture of Tom Hardy. Also I’m sure this movie will be good and stuff. [Vulture]
This is
Johnny Depp.
It takes a lot of make up to transform a handsome guy like Johnny Depp into a sloppy, aging mobster in a place called Southie. But here he is as Whitey Bulger. They are now filming the big budget movie in Boston, and also using a ton of local actors, according to the Boston Herald. They are also meticulously recreating Triple O’s Lounge, where Bulger once based his operation.
Johnny Depp! Usually handsome, now looking like a different guy who is not so handsome! Oh, Hollywood. You so magic. [Esquire]
