The film now in production in New York, a number of new photos from Michael R. Roskam’s Animal Rescue have come online, revealing leading man Tom Hardy playing with one of his adorable animal co-stars.

Based on the short story by Dennis Lehane, Animal Rescue revolves around a killing that results from a lost and contested pit bull. The story appeared in the Akashic Books anthology “Boston Noir,” which Lehane also edited.

Lehane, the author of the novels that led to the films Gone Baby Gone, Shutter Island and Mystic River, adapted the screenplay for “Rescue” himself. Noomi Rapace and Matthias Schoenaerts also star.

Peter Chernin and Mike Larocca are attached to produce.
