According to the Daily Mail, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES star Tom Hardy has been involved in the development of a musical theatre piece titled Harold's Harem.

"It’s not a traditional musical," Hardy told the publication.

The project is created and written by Brett C. Leonard, who collaborated with Hardy on The Long Red Road, a play directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman in 2010 at Chicago's Goodman Theatre. No date or venue have been set for a debut production of Harold's Harem.

British actor and screenwriter Hardy will play Bane in the upcoming film The Dark Knight Rises, and recently appeared in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He has also starred in Black Hawk Down, Inception, RocknRolla, Bronson, Warrior and This Means War, among many other films. Hardy has acted in the TV series Band of Brothers, The Take, Star Trek Nemesis and more. On stage, Hardy appeared in Blood and In Arabia We'd All Be Kings at the Royal Court and Hampstead theatres, the latter for which he was nominated for an Olivier Award in 2003.
