Tom Hardy's Al Capone Movie Coming to VOD Next Month

The long-gestating Fonzo, director Josh Trank's film about gangster Al Capone starring Tom Hardy, has a new title, release date, and trailer. Trank tweeted the first trailer, seen below, for the retitled Capone with the reveal that the movie will be released on May 12. Trank noted the title change from Fonzo in his post: "Different title. My cut." Trank also tweeted that while Capone will debut on streaming, he hopes it will also receive a theatrical release later this year. Capone, the director explained, had initially been made for a theatrical release not streaming.

Capone is just one of many films whose theatrical release has been impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Capone follows the titular gangster's later years after his release from federal incarceration, as he slowly loses his mind to the ravages of neurosyphilis. It was revealed earlier today that Capone will be rated R "for strong/bloody violence, pervasive language and some sexuality" and that its domestic distributor is Vertical Entertainment.
