John Hillcoat's WETTEST COUNTY IN THE WORLD Finally Gets Release Date

Movie John Hillcoat by

John Hillcoat’s adaptation of Matt Bondurant's The Wettest County in the World has finally been given a release date. The film tells the true story of Bondurant's grandfather and their moonshine exploits in Virginia during prohibition. The movie was filmed earlier this Spring and was rumored to be getting a release in December, but unfortunatley that is not happening.

The Weinstein Co. has scheduled a release date of April 20, 2012. The film has an excellent ensemble cast that includes Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce, Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Jason Clarke, Jessica Chastain, Dane DeHaan and Mia Wasikowska. Hardy, Clarke, and LaBeouf play the "bootlegging Bondurant brothers, who attempt to hold their family business together through threats that include the law, other bootleggers, and love." The script was penned by Nick Cave and is primed for a cool movie-going experience.

What are your thoughts on this movie? Are you looking forward to seeing it in theaters?
