With buzz already building for Tom Hardy‘s high-profile turn as uber-villain Bane in Warner Bros’ The Dark Knight Rises, the Weinstein Co. today unveiled the trailer for his starring vehicle, Lawless. Joining Hardy in the Depression-era crime drama are Shia LaBoeuf, Guy Pearce, Gary Oldman and Jessica Chastain.

I’d ask the company who put this trailer together for my money back. Awful… Bad pacing. The fades to black. No real sense of scope to anything. Just all around weak choices.
My thoughts exactly. The film overall looks like it could be good, but the trailer didn’t do it any favors.
It would appear they’re going for THE TOWN demographic with that logo and color scheme. They had me at Gary Oldman + tommy gun.
La Boeuf needs to do a comedy and ease up on the gravitas.
He’s always seemed naturally funny, sort of on the dick-ish side of a jester, so why doesn’t he do a Farrely-type role? I hate to go with the “miscast” dig, but he just seems way out of place here.
Looks Great. Finally something worth going to the theater for. Looking forward to seeing Shia Laboeuf in something without toys. He’s got a real depth that is missing from the majority of young american actors these days. Seems like a great balance of where Art meets Commerce. I hope it makes a boat load of money, so the studios invest in riskier pictures. Best of luck with with this film to everyone who made it.
HILARIOUS
Boooooorrrrrinnnnngggggg!!!!!
This trailer is legit. Most of the time period crime films don’t really get me, but this I am interested in. I will see this movie based on the cast alone, f the story!
Period (crime) drama seems to be back. Missed ya!
Think this will be extremely well executed. Story doesn’t look anything new, like an smaller Untouchables revamp, but Hillcoat’s Proposition is one of the grittiest, most interesting stories I’ve seen in a while. Also a little skeptical about Lebeouf, but we shall see…
Can’t wait – fantastic director, fantastic cast. Still prefer the previous title of the film though
I’m legit excited for this movie, but I worry the one-two punch of the uber generic title and the oddly edited trailer makes me worry people’ll be turned off to it. Should have gone with “Wettest County in the World”
No really sure about the trailer but Tom Brady and Gary Oldman got my interest up.
Looking forward to the Hardy-Pierce-Oldman interplay, this should be good. Shia seems miscast among acting giants.
Shia LeBoeuf gets lead billing on this? Really? From what you see in this trailer, he can’t hold his own against Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman.
I liked it better when it was called Wettest County. I don’t understand why they had to call it Lawless. I immediately think of Lucy Lawless when I hear that title
Every freaking time Zena and New Zealand comes to my mind when I hear Lawless.
And also trailer was really-really boring. It had two minuted but I felt like it was going forever. I didn’t care about any of the characters and I have zero desire to watch it even for Guy Pearce or Tom Hardy. Shia LaBoeuf is playing himself as always. Only this time he is not smiling and is depressing Shia. Tom Hardy is in monotone role.
Wow, talk about a weak link. Shia Laboeuf is surrounded by great actors/performances, but he stands out like a sore thumb. Every time I see him in a movie, I see him, not the character. He NEVER seems to disappear into a character.
Laboeuf is just one of those ‘actors’ that repulses a large segment of the population. It’s a real shame, because the rest of the cast/movie looks great. I can imagine someone like Casey Affleck nailing that role and elevating the entire movie to ‘must see’ status.
Great cast, but what an awful trailer – bad music, bad editing, no story.
I will see it because Nick Cave wrote the screenplay. That’s all the reason I need.
Raise your hand if you buy Shia Labeouf as a legendary Appalachian badass…
Both hands firmly on the floor.
I’m on board thanks to Hillcoat and most of the cast, but that trailer didn’t do it for me. Wonder how non-fans feel?
This movie is gonna be great, but worst trailer ever. Why trying to sell it that way?
Knowing John Hillcoat style, I’m pretty sure he didn’t approved this.
Enough of the trailers that throw everything at your face with a horrible editing and inappropriate music.
Don’t forget that the movie has been selected in the Cannes Film Festival Competition, an it’s certainly not thanks to this trailer.
18 producers…is that a record?
I really dislike you marketing people. I can’t imagine Terrence Malick is happy with this trailer. It looks like garbage, but I’m sure the movie itself will be fantastic.
Wait.. This isn’t the Terrence Malick LAWLESS. That explains SO much.
got to see a sneak peak of this this past weekend and was blown away by it. Great cast of characters who fit well with each other, as well as a true brutality of the times. Guy Pearce plays a perfect villian.
“Lawless” is such a bland, forgettable title. “The Wettest County in the World” is much more interesting. It at least does something for you. “Lawless” doesn’t get you anything.
Agreed. The trend towards vague and bland one-word titles is off-putting and odd. UNKNOWN, LIMITLESS, LAWLESS, etc…etc…
Dear marketing people: we know you think the intelligence and attention span of the average American movie goer is equivalent to that of a gnat, so you make all your movies have one-word titles, but guess what: remembering a bland and random one-word title with no connection to the movie’s subject matter is not any easier than remembering a specific interesting title that IS actually related to the movie’s subject matter, even if the interesting title happens to be, God forbid, like three words long…
I can’t stand Shia LeBoef and can’t fathom why he ever gets cast in anything. He’s so unappealing. And Guy Pearce, who is usually pretty good, is just embarrassing in this trailer.
If it wasn’t for those two actors it looks like it could have been a good movie. What a shame.
