The folks over at the Weinstein Company have granted us the exclusive opportunity to announce the opening of the official website for their upcoming film, Lawless. The film stars Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy as brothers who form a bootlegging gang in Depression-era Franklin County, Virginia. Authorities start to muscle in wanting a cut of the profits, but the brothers decide to fight back instead. The story is based on the true story of the infamous Bondurant brothers.
Along with the usual information (cast, pics, etc.) the official site includes a couple of games – Brass Knuckle Beatdown and Locked & Loaded.
Brass Knuckle Beatdown pits you in a brawl in the Bondurant brothers' bar. You dodge and fight your way to victory and knock out your opponent by putting on a pair of brass knuckles.
In Locked & Loaded, you're dropped into the middle of a shoot-out armed with one of the most classic automatic weapons of all-time: the Thompson submachine gun.
Take a look at a few screenshots from the site and then jump on over to the new site for a bloody good time. Lawless opens in theaters August 29 and co-stars Gary Oldman, Guy Pearce and Jessica Chastain.
