The Fox Searchlight feature Animal Rescue is set to begin filming in NYC.

The movie stars Tom Hardy as “a man who wants to shed his criminal path but somehow gets mixed up in a bad heist and a killing resulting from a lost and contested pit bull.”

Though the short story by Dennis Lehane that the movie is based on is set in Boston, they’ve relocated the action to New York for the movie.

Noomi Rapace will also star.

According to a recent casting call, the movie is filming exterior scenes in Greenpoint, Brooklyn on Monday, March 11.

UPDATE: Animal Rescue is filming at Franklin St & Commercial St, Brooklyn on Monday, Mar. 11.
