BRON announced today that Linda Cardellini, Academy Award nominee Matt Dillon, Golden Globe winner Kyle MacLachlan and Kathrine Narducci will join Academy Award nominee Tom Hardy in the Al Capone bio-pic Fonzo, written and to be directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle).

CAA and Endeavor Content are handling North American rights, with BLOOM handling international sales.

A ruthless businessman and bootlegger who ruled Chicago with an iron fist, Al "Fonzo" Capone (Hardy) was the MOST INFAMOUS and feared gangster of American lore. At the age of 47, following nearly a decade of imprisonment, dementia rots Capone's mind and his past becomes present as harrowing memories of his violent and brutal origins melt into his waking life.

She next stars in New Line Cinema's The Children and Participant's Green Book opposite Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortenson. Dillon was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in Crash, and will next be seen starring in Lars Von Trier's "The House That Jack Built." He also starred in the FOX hit sci-fi series "Wayward Pines."

Other television credits include "Sex and the City," and "Desperate Housewives." Notable film credits include Blue Velvet and Dune. Narducci is well known for "The Sopranos," and appeared in HBO'S "Wizard Of Lies" and Jersey Boys. She will next be seen in Martin Scorsese's upcoming The Irishman.
