Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastain, Jason Clarke, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman, and Mia Wasikowska star in The Weinstein Company’s Lawless (formerly titled The Wettest County in the World) set for release on August 31, 2012. Directed by John Hillcoat and adapted from Matt Bondurant’s novel by Bondurant and Nick Cave, Lawless‘ trailer does a great job of setting up the story without giving too much away.
The Plot:
Lawless is the true story of the infamous Bondurant Brothers: bootlegging siblings who made a run for the American Dream in Prohibition-era Virginia. In this epic gangster tale, inspired by true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant’s family in his novel The Wettest County in the World, the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against the backdrop of the nation’s most notorious crime wave.”
