Director Josh Trank on Wednesday released the first look at Tom Hardy as the legendary gangster Al Capone in his film \u201cCapone,\u201d showing Hardy as an old man suffering from dementia but still dangerous and full of mystery.
\nTrank\u2019s been working on the project under the name \u201cFonzo\u201d for some time, but on Wednesday, he revealed the film would hit streaming early on May 12 under a new name.
\n\u201cCapone\u201d shows Hardy in his late 40s after spending 10 years in prison, when he\u2019s developed dementia and is haunted by his violent past. But he\u2019s still the target of investigations, with one agent suspecting he may still be hiding something.
\n\u201cDo you know what the difference is between Adolf Hitler and Al Capone? Hitler\u2019s dead. Capone lives like a king in Florida,\u201d an agent played by Noel Fisher says in the trailer for the film. \u201cI have reason to believe it could all be part of an elaborate act.\u201d
\n\u201cCapone\u201d also co-stars Linda Cardellini, Matt Dillon, Kyle MacLachlan, Noel Fisher, Jack Lowden and Neal Brennan.
\nTrank wrote and directed the film and said on Twitter that though the movie has a new title, it\u2019s still his cut of the film, and he hopes \u201cCapone\u201d will wind up on a big screen later this year despite its early release on streaming.
\nVertical Entertainment will release \u201cCapone\u201d on VOD on May 12. Watch the first trailer above.\n<\/div>\n
