“Family is worth fighting for.”

Lionsgate has released new set pics for Gavin O’Connor’s action drama, Warrior featuring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton (some are even shirtless!). Hardy plays Tom Conlon, a recently returned vet, the youngest son of an alcoholic former boxer (Nick Nolte) who also happens to have been his coach. Tom enlist his help in training him for a mixed martial arts competition that will award the biggest prize in the history of the sport. The fight will end up putting Tom in the ring with his older brother Brendan (Joel Edgerton),a former MMA fighter and now a school teacher with a wife, kids and money problems. The two brothers have to confront each other as well as the problems that have kept them apart.

The cast also includes Jennifer Morrison (“House”) as Brendan’s wife Tess, Noah Emmerich, Kevin Dunn, and the director himself, Gavin O’Connor

Warrior has been completed for over a year and finally has a distributor. It opens September 9 in the US & Canada and 23 September in the UK.  Can’t wait!
