Tom Hardy has been cast in the lead for Kathryn Bigelow’s post-9/11 drama True American, The Independent reported.

Texan vigilante Stroman attacked Rais Bhuiyan in the harrowing wake of the World Trade Center terrorist attacks.

Bhuiyan, a Bangladeshi air force veteran who had moved to the US for a job, was a victim of Stroman’s killing rampage against anyone who looked Muslim.

Self-styled as the “Arab Slayer”, Stroman later told police that he was doing “what every American wanted to” as the country was “at war”.

He was executed by lethal injection but Bhuiyan, who had been left blind in one eye, campaigned to save him.
