Tom Hardy to star in Bosnian war feature film

Tom Hardy is set to star in the Bosnian War movie 'My War Gone By, I Miss It So'. The 39-year-old actor will also produce the film. The film is based on the 1999 book of the same name by

Anthony Lloyd

, an English journalist and war correspondent.

Gavin O'Connor is attached to direct and produce, along with

Scott LaStaiti

. "'My War Gone By' is a brutal yet sensitive story which addresses both the nature of addiction and the experience of war. I was struck by Anthony's work and words, experiences, and for me his is an important voice and an important book," Hardy said.

'My War Gone By, I Miss It So' is Lloyd's personal account of the Bosnian War, and alternates between his experiences in Bosnia and personal reflections of his time in the British army, his parents' divorce, his estrangement from his father, and his heroin addiction.
