Anti-Poaching Campaign Wins Big-Name Backers
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Tom Hardy are teaming up to produce a still-untitled animal-trafficking drama with Warner Bros. Studios. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film is shaping up to be reminiscent of Steven Soderbergh’s Traffic, but instead of focusing on the widespread, multi-tiered impact of the war on drugs, this film would cover everything from the ground war on poachers in Africa to the ways in which animal materials end up in Parisian fashion houses and runway shows.
The idea for the film was reportedly Hardy’s; the actor claims to have drawn inspiration from friends who left their positions as Special Forces operatives to fight poaching practices in South Africa and other nations.
