Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Tom Hardy to Star in Director Cary Fukunaga's Crime Thriller BLOOD ON SNOW
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Kick-Ass, Bullet Train) and Tom Hardy (Warrior, Venom) are teaming up with director Cary Fukunaga (True Detective, No Time To Die) for a feature film adaptation of the Jo Nesbo crime-thriller, Blood On Snow.
Nesbo is writing the script for the film, which is set in 1970’s Oslo, “where two rival gang leaders—Hoffman and the Fisherman (Hardy) —vie for control.”
The synopsis reads: “Hoffman’s trusted hitman, Olav (Johnson), is a cold, efficient killer, perfect for the job. But beneath his ruthless exterior lies an unexpected intelligence and an unwavering moral code shaped by a complicated childhood…
“When Hoffman orders his own wife to be murdered, Olav’s principles clash with his loyalties. Instead of pulling the trigger, he hatches a scheme that makes him Hoffman’s next target and with nowhere safe to turn, Olav forms an uneasy alliance that places him at the heart of Oslo’s deadly gang war.
“Once a violent enforcer, Olav’s choice makes him an unlikely hero in a world where no good deed goes unpunished.”
That sounds like it’s going to make for an intense crime thriller, and with a director like Fukunaga and a cast like Tylor-Johnson and Hardy, this is sure to end up being a great movie!
