Admiring Tom Hardy as Al Capone in the debut trailer for the film 'Scarface'.

The trailer for Josh Trank's 'Scarface' (Capone) has debuted online, starring Tom Hardy in the lead role. The film will focus on the legendary American gangster Al Capone.

What is known about the plot

The story will unfold during the period of Capone's life when he was released from prison after the FBI failed to find the large sum of money they were looking for. The gangster remains under surveillance, while he himself gradually loses his memory or makes those around him think what is convenient for him.

Who will star in the film 'Scarface'

The title role was given to Tom Hardy, who is already familiar with the gangster genre (see the film 'Legend' and the series 'Peaky Blinders'). The main bet is placed on the boundless talent of the Briton. Equally talented actors will support his solo performance, including:

• Matt Dillon ('The Fighter');
• Linda Cardellini ('Brokeback Mountain');
• Kyle MacLachlan ('Twin Peaks');
• Noel Fisher ('Shameless').

Will Trank succeed

The story was written and the film was directed by the infamous Josh Trank. The filmmaker made a loud debut with the film 'Chronicle', after which he faced a very thorny path as the director of the comic book blockbuster 'Fantastic Four'.

For his last work, he was literally destroyed by critics, audiences, and studio bosses, but he still got a chance at rehabilitation. Fertile ground for a strong thriller, an AAA star in the lead role, and talented actors in the cast — excellent data for returning to the status of one of Hollywood's most promising directors.

Release date

On May 12, the film 'Scarface' will be available for viewing on most popular streaming platforms; later, Trank plans to release the film in theaters, but that will depend on the pandemic situation.
