“Lawless” star Tom Hardy to topline “Locke” thriller February 7, 2013 - 20:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Tom Hardy is set to headline filmmaker Steven Knight's Locke, which IM Global's specialty label Anthem has come aboard to fully finance, The Hollywood Reporter said. Locke, from Paul Webster, Joe Wright and Guy Heely's Shoebox Films, is sure to draw keen interest from foreign buyers at the European Film Market, where IM Global will launch the project. The market gets underway today in conjunction with the Berlin International Film Festival. Based on an original screenplay from Knight, Locke tells the story of one man’s life unraveling in a tension-fuelled, 90-minute race against time (Knight will shoot in real time over 90 minutes). Ivan Locke has the perfect family, his dream job, and tomorrow should be the crowning moment of his career. But one phone call will force him to make a decision that will put it all on the line. Knight is set to begin production later this month in London, with Webster and Heeley producing. IM Global, Shoebox and Knight previously collaborated on Hummingbird, to be released by Lionsgate later this year.
