THE DROP Trailer Starring Tom Hardy, James Gandolfini

The first trailer for the upcoming crime drama The Drop has been released.  Directed by Michaël R. Roskam (Bullhead), the film stars Tom Hardy and James Gandolfini (in his final role) as owners of a bar that acts as drop point for local gangsters to store their dirty money.  Unfortunately, their bar gets robbed which puts them in hot water.

The film also stars Noomi Rapace, Matthias Schoenaerts, John Ortiz, Ann Dowd, and James Frecheville, and is written by Dennis Lehane who also penned Gone Baby Gone, so I’m pretty excited about this one.  The Drop opens September 19, hit the jump for the trailer and synopsis.

 

THE DROP is a new crime drama from Michaël R. Roskam, the Academy Award-nominated director of BULLHEAD. Based on a screenplay from Dennis Lehane (MYSTIC RIVER, GONE BABY GONE), THE DROP follows lonely bartender Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy) through a covert scheme of funneling cash to local gangsters – “money drops” – in the underworld of Brooklyn bars. Under the heavy hand of his employer and cousin Marv (James Gandolfini), Bob finds himself at the center of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deep into the neighborhood’s past where friends, families, and foes all work together to make a living – no matter the cost.
