Since the lead role in “Snow White & The Huntsman” went to Johnny Depp, there are new rumors about a possible future project for Tom.
Tom Hardy has been offered the role of Henry Sturges in the highly-anticipated flick Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, according to Bloody Disgusting.
The pic is the fictionalized story of Abraham Lincoln, whose mother dies due a debt owed by his father to a vampire, which causes him to take action to eliminate all the vampires.
The film is based on the book by Seth Grahame-Smith, which is written from the documents “given” to the author by the vampire Henry Sturges, which would be Tom’s role in the movie.
Bloody Disgusting learned today that Tom Hardy has been offered the role of “Henry Sturgess” in Timur Bekmambetov’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Hardy recently starred in Christopher Nolan’s Inception and also captured the vicious role of Nicolas Winding Refn’s remarkable Bronson. He was one of Variety’s Top Ten Actors to watch in 2009. In Seth Grahame-Smith’s historical horror spin, when Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the “milk sickness.” Only later did he learn that his mother’s deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect a debt owed by Lincoln’s father. When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampires. Twentieth Century Fox is aiming at a June 22, 2012 release for the Tim Burton produced horror adventure.
From DigitalSpy:
Tom Hardy and Angelina Jolie are being courted for roles in Universal’s Snow White And The Huntsman.
The movie, written by Evan Daugherty, takes an action-adventure approach to the classic fairy tale. According to The Playlist, Inception actor Hardy has been approached to play a huntsman who is tasked with hunting down the evil queen’s stepdaughter, Snow White.
Jolie is allegedly being sought out to portray the queen. However, the role is similar to the one she is expected to take on in Tim Burton’s Maleficent.
Hardy has roles upcoming in Batman 3, This Means War and Mad Max: Fury Road.
There is still a lot of debate about whether or not Tom will also play a part in the “Total Recall” remake. Colin Farrell and Michael Fassbender are also candidates for the role. And given Tom’s schedule for the upcoming year… I will keep you posted about the status of the project.
