With 2013 drawing to a close, The Fan Carpet have looked to the year a head and added some brand new photos to our gallery for Daniel Espinosa's Child 44 featuring Noomi Rapace and Tom Hardy!
Child 44 is based on the first of a trilogy by Tom Rob Smith and set in the Stalin era of the Soviet Union. The plot is about an idealistic pro-Stalin security officer who decides to investigate a series of child murders in a country where supposedly this sort of crime doesn't exist. The state would not hear of the existence of a child murderer let alone a serial killer. He gets demoted and exiled but decides, with just the help of his wife, to continue pursuing the case.
Featuring the stellar cast of Gary Oldman, Joel Kinnaman, Vincent Cassel, Dev Patel and Paddy Considine, Child 44 is awaiting a release date.
