Few actors have looked as likely to become a full-on A-list star in the last few years as Tom Hardy (or been so charmingly hot), and Warner Bros. obviously agrees, as they’ve signed a first look deal with the actor after being impressed by his work on The Dark Knight Rises. Variety reports that the first film under the deal may be a 1960’s Outlaw Biker movie, with Tom producing as well as starring.
The story is about a wounded Vietnam veteran who returns home to San Francisco at the height of civil unrest in 1969. Amid the clashing cultures of the Haight-Ashbury district, he emerges to become the leader of California’s most violent outlaw biker club. Mark L. Smith wrote the script from an original idea from John Linson.
The movie is still in early development, so it’s unclear when it might go into production.
