Lawless Red Band Trailer – More violence from the star-studded prohibition-era drama

There’s a lot of good buzz surrounding Lawless (we’ve seen it and out review will be up shortly before its September 7th UK release). Now a new red band trailer for the film has arrived, which ups level of violence and skin for the prohibition-era drama. Directed by John Hillcoat from a script by him and Proposition cohort Nick Cave, Lawless is based on Matt Bodurant’s book about the author’s grandfather and two great-uncles, who were part of a fierce criminal gang at the centre of the US’s moonshine trade during prohibition. The story also follows a writer named Sherwood Anderson, who is on the trail of the bootlegging gang. The film has a great cast, with Tom Hardy, Shia LaBeouf, Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, Jessica Chastain, and Mia Wasikowska onboard.
