After a string of supporting roles, notably in Steven Soderbergh‘s last few efforts and last year’s visually stunning Anna Karenina, Jude Law is returning to the spotlight for the rude, crude and seemingly hilarious Dom Hemingway. Coming from writer-director Richard Shepard (The Matador and The Hunting Party), the first trailer has landed today.
Following our lead after a 12-year prison stint, he’s back on the streets to get what he’s owed and must not only deal with his crime ties, but the family he left behind. We were somewhat mixed on the results coming out off TIFF (full review), praising his performance, but saying the film seems like “simply the showcase for a character that could endure in subsequent stories if Shepard and Law decided he was worth revisiting.” Check out the trailer below via Digital Spy for the film also starring Richard E. Grant, Emilia Clarke and Demian Bichir.
Dom Hemingway hits U.K. theaters in November and U.S. theaters this April.
