Tom Hardy & Michael Shannon drive ‘Long Red Road’ —
Tom Hardy and Michael Shannon are attached to topline “The Long Red Road” in the first feature from newly-minted Whipsmart.
Hardy is to reprise his role as Sam in the bigscreen adaptation of Brett C. Leonard’s play of the same name, in which he attempts to drink away his demons on an Indian reservation in South Dakota. When a visitor from his past arrives, Sam has to take a hard look at the man he’s become and the life he left behind.
Shannon is on board to play the older brother of Hardy’s character.
“The Long Red Road” premiered in 2010 at the Goodman Theater in Chicago with Philip Seymour Hoffman directing. It’s uncertain if Hoffman will be attached to direct the feature version. (x)
Brilliant! I hope, if it happens, that PSH does direct. :)
