Gary Oldman to Join CHILD 44 Alongside Tom Hardy

The latest reports have Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Rises) on board to join Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace in Daniel Espinosa’s Child 44.  Richard Price penned the adaptation of the Tom Rob Smith novel that centers on a 1950s Soviet military policeman (Hardy) who finds himself the target of his own government’s suspicions while investigating a series of child murders.  The picture also stars Joel Kinnaman and has Ridley Scott and Michael Schaefer attached to produce.  Hit the jump for more.

Heat Vision reports gary-oldmanthat Oldman will play the head of the police force who acts on the government’s suspicions and begins tracking Hardy’s character.  Rapace will play Hardy’s wife, a character that’s a chameleon of sorts.  Kinnaman will star as Hardy’s ambitious but violent co-worker.
