The afterparty for the Lawless cast in Cannes was apparently very exclusive and hip…
The stars of the movie, Tom Hardy and Jessica Chastain and Shia LaBeouf linger comfortably in a room not crowded by Cannes standards. Dane DeHaan, who has a small but key part in the Prohibition-era drama, will also be in Benaroya’s next movie, “Kill Your Darlings.”
It’s a growing clique of dot-com Hollywood arrivistes, who’ve made the right connections and are putting their money where it counts. There are a few others, former dot-commer Robert Barnum, and the industry elder by comparison, Cassian Elwes.
Tom Hardy squeezes by and chats briefly about playing Forrest Bondurant; at first he was offered the middle brother role of Howard, since Ryan Gosling was slated to play Forrest. But Gosling fell out and Hardy eventually got the role he wanted in a performance that is winning high praise. Hardy said he has lost 30 pounds since filming the movie.
