The film is an adaptation of the novel by Boston Teran. Here’s the novel’s synopsis:
But Rawbone’s plan spins against him, and he soon finds himself in the hands of the Bureau of Investigation. He is offered a chance for immunity, but only if he agrees to proceed with his scheme to deliver the truck and its goods to the Mexican oil fields—all the while being under the command of agent John Lourdes. Unbeknownst to Rawbone, the agent happens to be the son he abandoned decades earlier, a truth only the agent knows. As they work to expose the criminal network at the core of the revolution, it is clear their journey into the tarred desert is a push toward a certain ruin, and the agent’s secret may determine their fates. Set
Craig will be playing Rawbone, and yes, that is the coolest character name ever. Both Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale were circling the role, but now it belongs to Craig. It’s great to see the actor getting back on the horse, so to speak. Aside from a memorable turn inLogan Lucky, and a role in the already forgotten filmKings, Craig has spent the last few years of his career either playing James Bond, or waiting for a new Bond film to start. Now that his tenure as Bond appears to be coming to an end, he’s clearly ready to start taking on new work. In addition toThe Creed of Violence, he recently finished shooting Rian Johnson’s star-studded mystery thrillerKnives Out, which is due to hit theaters this November.
And while Field hasn’t directed anything in a while, the films he directed in the past were quite good, andThe Creed of Violencemight be the perfect title to get him back in the game.
