Tom Hardy and Josh Trank to reunite for a CIA limited series

Tom Hardy and Josh Trank have worked together on Capone

Capone, starring Tom Hardy, has just been released digitally this week and the show’s director, Josh Trank, has just revealed that he will be joining forces once again with the actor in an untitled limited series.

Academy Award nominee, Tom Hardy is reported to be starring in the show that is based on the formation of the CIA. Director Josh Trank recently spoke with Collider, announcing the information and he also revealed that he and Hardy will serve as producers for the project which he described as “interesting, dangerous and fascinating.” 

He continued, “I’m working on this limited series that Tom Hardy is producing and that he’s involved in and he’s very excited about, and I’m excited about,” Trank said.  “[and it’s] a story that spans decades, from right at the end of World War II and concerning the formation of the CIA, but from a point of view that hasn’t really been seen in a movie or in television before, and is just mentioned in books. It deals a lot with Castro and Cuba, and capitalism versus Communism. It’s really big. Sort of the, you know, capitalism versus communism. It’s really big.”

Here is the official synopsis for the movie: A ruthless businessman and bootlegger who ruled Chicago with an iron fist, Al Capone (Tom Hardy) was the most infamous and feared gangster of American lore. At the age of 47, following nearly a decade of imprisonment, dementia rots Capone’s mind and his past becomes present as harrowing memories of his violent and brutal origins melt into his waking life.

Co-starring in Capone are Linda Cardellini (Dead to Me) as Capone’s long-suffering wife Mae, Matt Dillon (Crash) as his closest friend Johnny, Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks) as his doctor Karlock, and Kathrine Narducci (The Sopranos) as Rosie, one of his sisters. It will also feature Jack Lowden and Noel Fisher.

Josh Trank (Fantastic Four, Chronicle) is on double duties for this one as he has penned the script and has also directed the movie. It’s produced by Aaron L. Gilbert (Fences, Beatriz at Dinner) for BRON, Russell Ackerman and John Schoenfelder (Hold the Dark, Tau) for Addictive Pictures, and Academy Award nominee Lawrence Bender (Inglorious Basterds, Good Will Hunting, Pulp Fiction) for A Band Apart, alongside executive producer Jason Cloth of Creative Wealth Media.
