Tom Hardy has signed on to star in the Bosnian war movie, My War Gone By, I Miss It So.
The movie is based on a book of the same name by English journalist Anthony Lloyd, written in 1999.
The story is Lloyd’s personal account of the Bosnian War, depicting his time in the British Army, his estrangement from his father, his parents’ divorce, and his heroin addiction.
Gavin O’Conner is attached to direct the film as well as produce alongside Hardy and Scott LaStaiti.
“My War Gone By is a brutal yet sensitive story which addresses both the nature of addiction and the experience of war,” Hardy commented. “I was struck by Anthony’s work and words, experiences, and for me his is an important voice and an important book.”
