Don't know much about this one, heck of a cast though.

heck of a cast though.

My thoughts exactly!

 

Hardy + Oldman. an amazing director and a subject I'm very interested in. Going to see this one for sure

I'll be seeing it too, anything with Noomi is a winner in my eyes. Tom and Gary sure do love working together.
