New 'LAWLESS' Poster Featuring Tom Hardy

Jason Clarke Joins John Hillcoat's Wettest County

Variety reports that Jason Clarke (Public Enemies, Brotherhood) has joined John Hillcoat's (Proposition, The Road) Wettest County (Promise Land). He joins a relative solid cast including Tom Hardy, Jessica Chastainn, Mia Wasikowska and Shia LaBeouf. The film is based on the novel by Matt Boundurant and is adapted by musician Nick Cave who also wrote The Proposition.  It focuses on three brothers and their illegal alcohol business during the height of prohibition.

Mia Wasikowska In Talks For Wettest County

Variety reports Mia Wasikowska is circling a role in John Hillcoat's (The Road, The Proposition) The Wettest County / The Promise Land. The young Australian actress is slowly becoming a well known name with roles in Defiance, Alice In Wonderland, The Kids Are All Right and the upcoming Jane Eyre. Mia would join Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf and Jessica Chastain (Tree of Life, The Debt) in the prohibition drama.

The film is based on the novel by  Matt Boundurant and is adapted by musician Nick Cave who also wrote The Proposition. I still hold out hope Cave will also score the film as well. It focuses on three brothers and their illegal alcohol business during the height of prohibition.
