| - The Warlord is a 2017 neo-noir action crime thriller film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, produced by Stacey Sher and Pilar Savone and edited by Fred Raskin. It stars Gary Oldman as Peter Royce, a hit-man who is hired to commit several killings across New York, which brings him into conflict with the film's main antagonist, Meredith Irons (Jennifer Lawrence), an equally dangerous mob boss. The film stars a supporting cast of Sigourney Weaver, Dane DeHaan, Kevin Spacey, Elle Fanning, Oscar Isaac, Christopher Walken, Quentin Tarantino and Tom Wilkinson. Tarantino envisioned the film to be a battle between the Oldman, Lawrence and Spacey's characters, similar to that which took place in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, one of Tarantino's all-time favourite films. By December 2016, Tarantino sent his final draft of the script to The Weinstein Company. Casting began in February 2017, with Emma Watson, Bonnie Wright and Amanda Seyfried being considered for the role of the main antagonist, before Lawrence was cast. Principal photography took place from late February to June 2012 entirely in New York. The Warlord was released in cinemas on 20th July 2017 in the United States, and received majorly positive reviews from critics and audiences - praise went to the film's script, villain, pacing, the performances of Oldman, Spacey, Weaver and especially Lawrence, and the screenplay. It was a box office success, grossing twice its original budget, and won several awards and nominations, with Lawrence receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Villain for her performance.
