The recent trailer for John Hillcoat’s LAWLESS was pretty damn spectacular, with the all-star cast looking suitably superb. The film is adapted from the factually-based novel The Wettest County In The World by Matt Bondurant, the grandkid of one of characters. Set in prohibition-era Virginia, the film will depict the criminal nature of a family of bootleggers and their ‘business’ dealings with major underworld figures that ultimately turn fatal.
THN has the first collection of character posters, each giving us more than a hint of their individual personalities and motivations. Hillcoat previously gave us the brilliant, brutal Aussie western THE PROPOSITION, as well as punishing post-apocalyptic thriller THE ROAD. Singer and screenwriter Nick Cave, has adapted Bondurant’s best-seller. LAWLESS hits cinemas later this year
LAWLESS will premiere at Somerset House at their Film4 Summer Screen Festival, more details click here!
