ROBERT HOPES

PRIDE & GLORY

Release date: October 2008

A saga centered on a multi-generational family of New York City Police officers. The family's moral codes are tested when Ray Tierney (Edward Norton), investigates a case that reveals an incendiary police corruption scandal involving his own brother-in-law (Colin Farrell). For Ray, the truth is revelatory, a Pandora's Box that threatens to upend not only the Tierney legacy but the entire NYPD.

Bobby Hopes credits include : Story by, Associate Producer and Detective #2 (he also appears in the movie in a scene with Ed Norton).
