The Road director John Hillcoat has attached Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy to his thriller, The Wettest County in the World.

According to The LA Times, LaBeouf and Hardy would play two bootlegging brothers who always find themselves on the wrong side of the law in prohibition era America. The film was written by singer, Nick Cave, and previously had Ryan Gosling and Amy Adams also attached - it's not clear if either are still involved.

Hardy is currently hotter than a Missy Peregrym montage, so it's very much a star signing for the producers.
