Ahead of its release later this year, we've got our hands on the new Lawless trailer.

Set in Prohibition-era Virginia and based on a true story, the film follows the infamous Bondurant brothers in their pursuit of the American Dream.

Directed by John Hillcoat, Lawless stars The Help's Jessica Chastain alongside Tom Hardy, Shia Labeouf, Mia Wasikowska and Guy Pearce.

The story is inspired by the tales in Matt Bondurant's own novel The Wettest County In The World, where the loyalty of three brothers is tested amidst the nation's most notorious crime wave.

The film has been put forward for the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year, and is set to be UK cinemas on 31 August.

So... how long before Shia LaBeouf has to issue apologies for bad-mouthing Lawless, the way he bad-mouthed Transformers and the way he bad-mouthed Indiana Jones/Crystal Skull?

And is it going to be weird hearing Mia Wasikowska (Australian), Tom Hardy (English), Guy Pearce (Australian), and Gary Oldman speaking with Blue Ridge Virginia accents? And will they do that more authentically than Shia LaBeouf? Probably yes.
