Tom Hardy set to play Al Capone

When I read this I was extremely intrigued to say the least, I personally think Tom Hardy is a great actor an will go onto great things and I have always had in interest in Al Capone an the prohibition era in America (1920's through to roughly 1933 I believe). The film is set to be directed by the genius behind the final four instalments of the iconic Harry Potter franchise, being a Potter fan myself this also brought my intrigue to an all time high.
The film is set to release in 2014, but we might not have to wait to long to see Hardy in the prohibition area. "Wettest County" releases this year,
"Set in the Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia, a bootlegging gang is threatened by authorities who want a cut of their profits."

The film is set to be called "Cireco" which takes it's name from Cicero, Illinois where Capone set up his main headquarters, so that he could operate outside the city limits of Chicago during the 1920s.

"Tom Hardy said he will play the Depression-era Chicago crime boss sometime next year and well into 2014:
Tom Hardy: ‘I’ve been working with Warner Bros., watching their gangster films – the ones with James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. It’s interesting to get them, and a bit of Capone, into the bloodstream."
These are ALL the details that are circulating about the film, and I'm guessing it's going to be a long time before we hear anymore news so drink it all in.
