I’m posting this AGAIN, because it’s now a proper online photo from EW.com. Might as well repost the text too:
Shia LaBeouf (left) and Tom Hardy (right) play real-life moonshiners who run afoul of the law in Lawless (out Aug. 31), adapted from the novel The Wettest County in the World. While Hardy’s character was skinny, Hardy was forced to play him bulky. ”He had to put on weight for The Dark Knight Rises,” says producer Lucy Fisher. ”But he figured out other ways of showing the vulnerable side of this violent character.”
Still from Lawless - now in HQ! :D
For full HQ experience, go to the website. The fact that they’ve uploaded photos must be a good sign! I can’t wait for some more material from this film.
Harvey Weinstein explains ‘Wettest County’ release date move
January 6, 2012 | 1:33 pm / The Envelope - LosAngelesTimes
On Thursday, the Weinstein Co. pushed the release date of “Wettest County,” the Depression-era drama starring Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy as bootlegging brothers, from April 20 to Labor Day weekend.
Today Harvey Weinstein offered an explanation for the postponement, citing a media strategy that aims to capitalize on the post-“Dark Knight Rises” appeal of Hardy as well as a release template followed by other action-tinged dramas.
“We have a star in Tom Hardy who’s completely anonymous right now. If you go to a line at the ArcLight nobody would know who he is,” Weinstein told 24 Frames. But the film executive said that would change with the release of Hardy’s Batman picture (Hardy plays the villain, Bane) in July. “He’s going to be a huge movie star by August,” Weinstein said.
John Hillcoat directed “County,” which the musician-screenwriter Nick Cave adapted from Matt Bondurant’s novel. It concerns a family in rural Virginia that lives on the edge of the law and finds itself under violent pressure from authorities who want in on the action. The movie will now hit U.S. theaters on Aug. 31.
Weinstein, who said he believed performances from Hardy and LaBeouf would attract awards attention, also said that the new date would allow the film to play at at least one major international festival.
“The idea is to go to Venice and then hit the domestic market right after,” he said. It was a tack Weinstein said was taken by “The Constant Gardener,” Fenrando Mereilles’ 2005 John le Carre adaptation; the movie, released by Focus Features in late summer, went on to gross $33 million domestically and $48 million internationally.
Labor Day is typically considered a very slow weekend in U.S. moviegoing, but Weinstein noted that “it can be a great bridge between the summer and the fall. And we wanted the holiday weekend for the movie, especially down South, where there’s a big audience for this film.”
While a movie’s period setting usually dictates a limited release, Weinstein said he saw “Wettest County” as a wide play and planned on opening it in several thousand theaters.
“Wettest” will kick off a packed fall season for the Weinstein Co. The company in recent years has been stocking up at festivals for its fall slate (its 2011 best-picture contender, “The Artist,” was acquired just ahead of last year’s Cannes Film Festival). But next fall is already crowded, with Brad Pitt-starring mob tale “Cogan’s Trade,” the David O. Russell family reconciliation story “The Silver Linings Playbook,” Paul Thomas Anderson’s so-called Scientology movie “The Master,” and Quentin Tarantino’s slave picture “Django Unchained” all likely to come out in the fourth quarter.
What?! You’d deny us The Cardigan Killer for another 4 months?
Of course they’re also calling it ‘The Wettest Country,’ but we’ll take their word for it.
Here’s the exact (for now) release date for The Wettest County from Boxofficemojo:
The Wettest Country - Weinstein Company - 4/20/12
Weirdly enough, there’s been a release date for Sweden up at imdb.com for a long time: June 29 2012. So that fits.

Is Tom joking or not? Probably, yes? But I love how Tom says he woke up ‘in Pnut’s arms’. Aww! *g*
We’re not normally interested in celebrity tittle tattle here on Den Of Geek, but one recent story doing the rounds on Monday really caught our eye. According to several news outlets, Shia LaBeouf (he of Transformers fame) came to blows with actor Tom Hardy on the set of The Wettest County In The World.
In a lengthy interview with Details magazine, LaBeouf said he’d engaged in a tussle with Hardy, and said that Hardy “never did that roughhouse stuff with me again.”
We recently met with Tom Hardy for a round table interview to promote the forthcoming Warrior, a film about two brothers who fight in a mixed martial arts tournament. We’ll be bringing the full transcript of that meeting nearer the movie’s release in September, but one thing we can share with you is that Hardy briefly mentioned his encounter with Mr LaBeouf (and this was before LaBeouf’s interview came to light).
“I got knocked out by Shia LaBeouf, actually,” Hardy said. “In Wettest County, apparently.”
We should point out, at this point, that the atmosphere in the room seemed rather unusual, as though no one involved quite knew whether Hardy was being serious or not. His use of the word ‘apparently’ would also suggest that he was winding us up. Nevertheless, Hardy persisted with his version of what happened.
“[It was] behind the scenes,” he said, before being almost drowned out by incredulous laughter, both from me and my fellow hacks, and the row of publicists sitting a short distance behind us. “No, he did,” Hardy continued. “He knocked me out sparko. Out cold. He’s a bad, bad boy. He is. He’s quite intimidating as well. He’s a scary dude.”
When someone understandably asked Hardy how the fight started, Hardy was less clear.
“He just attacked me,” Hardy said, provoking more laughter. “He was drinking moonshine. I was wearing a cardigan, and er, went down. I woke up in Pnut’s arms.”
We should point out at this point that Pnut (pronounced Peanut) is Hardy’s personal trainer. The actor continued, “He was concerned for me. I was like, ‘What was that? It was lightning fast.’” And he said, ‘That was Shia.’ I said, ‘Fuckin’ hell. Can we go home now?’ ‘No, we’ve still got three weeks to finish.’”
Now, if you’ve seen Hardy’s work in Bronson, or the trailer for Warrior, you’ll know that he’s a fairly well built chap. Is it likely that LaBeouf (who is, shall we say, rather less well built) really knocked out him out? It’s certainly the story that Hardy’s going with, even if the way he related it suggested that he had his tongue firmly in his cheek.

I really hope ‘The Wettest County In The World’ will be released in 2011!
The 3 bootlegging Bondurants — youngest brother Jack (Shia LaBeouf), middle brother Howard (Jason Clarke), and the eldest, Forrest (Tom). Not a great picture of Shia, but the haircut is for Wettest County, so it gives a preview of how they all might look.
