Pull Up a Stool and Have a Drink With the Trailer and Five New Stills from ‘LAWLESS’

Lawless has a fantastic director behind it with John Hillcoat (Proposition, The Road). Then you have an equally talented cast with Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce.  If all those names don’t give you a buzz, just watch the trailer for this new film following a band of bootlegging brothers during the prohibition.  Surprisingly, this first trailer for the film reveals quite a lot of the story.  One of the things that also comes across in the trailer and is what I loved about Hillcoat’s The Proposition: the attention to detail.  For people unfamiliar with the Aussie director, just watch the first ten minutes of the gritty western The Proposition and see if you aren’t blown away by the sound design and intensity of the opening scene.  Lawless, formerly known as The Wettest County, opens August 31.  Enjoy five new stills and the trailer below.

Somewhere between growing up on a steady diet of Saturday morning trips to the local comic-book shop, collecting an unhealthy amount of action figures, and frequent viewings of Ray Harryhausen and Hammer Horror films, came forth a nerdy boy that was torn between journalism and the arts. In high school, Michael found himself writing a movie column for the school newspaper. Yet, he went on to get a BFA in Studio Art at Webster University. When not writing about films, you can still find him discussing classic horror, collecting action figures, and reading Batman. Clearly, not much has changed.
