Tom Hiddleston and Ben Wheatley to reunite for Frank Miller adaptation

High-Rise actor and director to collaborate on big-screen version of Miller and Geof Darrow’s comic Hard Boiled

High-Rise star Tom Hiddleston is to reunite with director Ben Wheatley for Hard Boiled, an adaptation of the early-90s comic-book series by Frank Miller and Geof Darrow.

Hiddleston is down to play Nixon, a seemingly deranged tax collector in a near-future dystopian Los Angeles. He recently completed work on Thor: Ragnarok (the third in the series) and Kong: Skull Island. Wheatley’s most recent project is Free Fire, an action comedy set in a warehouse, which looks to be his most mainstream film yet.
