According to The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) plans to star in War Party, an adventure pitch from director Andrew Dominik (Killing Them Softly) which Netflix has paid seven figures for. The deal is for Dominik to direct and co-write with Harrison Query.
Netflix beat out Amazon, Universal and Lionsgate for War Party, which is based on true life events of a group of real Navy SEALS. After working with Hardy on his hit FX period drama Taboo, Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Films will produce the film.
Hardy is next slated to reunite with director Christopher Nolan once again for Warner Bros.’ WWII epic Dunkirk, which opens on July 21.
