In addition to Rapace, the Brooklyn-set feature stars Tom Hardy and the late James Gandolfini.

The Drop centers on Bob Saginowski (Hardy), an ex-con turned bartender who finds himself at the center of a robbery gone awry, which sends a ripple effect through the neighborhood to his friends, family, and the gangsters on the block.

Rapace portrays Nadia in the film, while Gandolfini plays Marv, another ex-con who is trying to go legit.

Directed by Michael R. Roskam, The Drop is based on Dennis Lehane’s short story Animal Rescue, which was also the film’s original title.

There’s overwhelming interest in Noomi Rapace’s latest project…

Fox Searchlight has released the trailer for The Drop, starring the 34-year-old half-Spanish actress.

The film, which opens in theaters on September 19, features the late James Gandolfini in what would be his last movie.

The crime drama, based on a screenplay from author Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone), follows lonely bartender Bob Saginowski (Hardy) through a covert scheme of funneling cash to local gangsters — “money drops” — in the underworld of Brooklyn bars. Under the heavy hand of his employer and cousin Marv (Gandolfini), Bob finds himself at the center of a robbery gone awry and entwined in an investigation that digs deep into the neighborhood’s past where friends, families and foes all work together to make a living — no matter the cost.

Michael R. Roskam (Bullhead) directed the movie, which also stars Matthia Schoenaerts, John Ortiz, Ann Dowd and James Frecheville

Gandolfini died in June at age 51 of a heart attack while vacationing in Italy. Following his death, he also appeared in Enough Said, released last September.
