Tom Hardy will play gangster Al Capone in Josh Trank‘s next film, the drama Fonzo, which is written and directed by Josh Trank (Fantastic Four). Rather than focussing on Capone’s early life as a gangster at the top of his game, the film will hone in on him in his forties as he battles dementia in prison.
Here’s the synopsis.
Once a ruthless businessman and bootlegger who ruled Chicago with an iron fist, Al Capone was the most infamous and feared gangster of American lore. At the age of 47, following nearly a decade of imprisonment, dementia rots Al’s mind and his past becomes present as harrowing memories of his violent and brutal origins melt into his waking life.
“‘Fonzo’ brings together the myth and lore of notorious American Gangster Al Capone, with the undeniable talent of Tom Hardy and Josh Trank,” says BLOOM’s Alex Walton said, “We are thrilled to bring this film to buyers at the AFM.”
Hardy will next be seen in the BBC drama Taboo, and then next year in Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk.
