FILM 1584: THE DROP
TRIVIA: Last film appearance of James Gandolfini, he died
one month after shooting had wrapped.
The film is based on the short story "Animal Rescue" by Dennis Lehane, from the
collection Boston Noir.
The film is set in Brooklyn, New York and with American characters, but 3
of the 4 main actors are Europeans. Tom Hardy
is British, Noomi Rapace
is Swedish and Matthias
Schoenaerts is Belgian. James
Gandolfini is the only American among them.
Saint Rocco, whose statue in the church gives Bob the inspiration for his
puppy's name, is a 14th century Italian Saint and is the patron saint of dogs.
Part of the legend surrounding this Saint is of a dog who brought him food
while he lay sick with the plague.
Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace went to a
rescue center to prepare for their roles. Hardy did adopt a dog, a female
pit-bull puppy, and took it to the set.
