Here is the latest Red Band trailer for the upcoming LAWLESS starring Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy.
This is certainly NSFW as there’s nudity and violence. Nothing too graphic, but that’s what makes it more unsettling. It’s more about what you don’t see that adds to the grim nature of the trailer, and vicariously the film. Keep an eye out for the petrol pump bit. Horrible, yet compelling. A bit like X Factor.
LAWLESS follows the trials of the Bondurant Boys, led by Forrest (Hardy in his second nasty turn of the year), who have a monopoly on the towns bootlegging. But with rival hooch barons and corrupt officials muscling in on their business, the net is closing on Forrest and his brothers Howard, played by Jason Clarke (PUBLIC ENEMIES, THE GREAT GATSBY) and Shia LaBeouf (a truckload of arse). It also stars Hardy’s DARK KNIGHT RISES and TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY co-star Gary Oldman as tommy gun wielding Floyd Banner, Guy Pearce as Special Agent Charlie Rakes as well as Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasicowska as Hardy and LaBeouf’s respective love interests (though one hopes they will get to do more than swoon). It is directed by John Hillcoat and written by singer Nick Cave, who collaborated together on THE PROPOSITION (2005). It is based on the novel The Wettest County In The World, written by Matt Bondurant, real life descendent of the Bondurant Boys.
Here’s the trailer.
LAWLESS is due for release on the 7th of September.
