Jude Law, Nicholas Hoult to Star in Movie "The Order"

Jude Law is set to star alongside Nicholas Hoult in the true-crime movie "The Order".

AGC Studios will finance, produce and sell the thriller, which will be a hot package at the upcoming EFM.

Acclaimed Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel (Macbeth) directs from a script by Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated writer Zach Baylin. It is based on The Silent Brotherhood, the book by Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt that chronicles the escalating crimes of the titular white supremist domestic terror group.

In 1983, a series of increasingly violent bank robberies, counterfeiting operations and armored car heists frightened communities throughout the Pacific Northwest. 

As baffled law enforcement agents scrambled for answers, a lone FBI agent (Law), stationed in the sleepy, picturesque town of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, came to believe the crimes were not the work of traditional, financially motivated criminals but a group of dangerous domestic terrorists, inspired by a radical, charismatic leader (Hoult), plot a devastating war against the federal government of the United States.

Production will begin in May in Alberta, Canada. 

CAA Media Finance and UTA Independent Film Group are co-representing North America. AGC is producing with Bryan Haas of Chasing Epic Pictures and Law’s Riff Raff Entertainment.

Haas, Law and Ford will produce the crime thriller along with Kurzel, Ben Jackson and Stephen Fuss of Riff Raff Entertainment, Baylin, Kate Susman, Jeremy Saulnier and Zach Garrett of AGC Studios as executive producers.

Law soon can be seen as iconic character Captain Hook in David Lowery’s "Peter Pan & Wendy" for Disney+ and as Henry VIII opposite Alicia Vikander’s Queen Catherine Parr in the historical thriller "Firebrand". 

He is also set to appear in "Star Wars: Skeleton Crew" from director Jon Watts and writer Christopher Ford.
