Coming off the back of The Revenant, Tom Hardy is set to portray Don McCullin in a biopic about the photojournalist, who risked his life on a daily basis to capture the grim reality of life in war zones.
The film will be produced by Working Title, and feels like a bit more of a passion project for Hardy, following his big-budget 2015 choices: The Revenant and Mad Max: Fury Road.
McCullin, who is now 80, has had a fascinating life, growing up in poverty London before becoming The Times’ go-to guy for war photojournalism.
The as-yet-untitled film will be adapted from McCullin’s autobiography Unreasonable Behaviour (that would make a pretty good name for the film to be fair), according to Deadline, by ’71 writer Gregory Burke.
