Mad Max: Fury Road - Part 1

[Faora]

Someone did a great Mad Max: Road Warrior & Mad Max: Fury Road side by side trailer

Wow. Great.

Well, let's not go crazy. I like Hardy but I have yet to see him as anybody but Tom Hardy in a lot of roles sans maybe one or two. He's becoming more recognizable.

Really? I think he's one of the few actors with a chameleonic quality.

 

[Octoberist]

He's a little bit of Brando..a little bit Oldman.

 

[chamber-music]

I still can't believe the clone Picard from Star Trek Nemesis is the same guy who played Tommy in Warrior.

Nemesis Hardy had about as much mass as Warrior Hardy's bicep. Its insane.

Also, Hardy was far more imposing looking in that film than he was for The Dark Knight Rises.

 

[Schlosser85]

It's really weird seeing Hardy in Star Trek in hindsight. He looked like someone who couldn't bulk up if he tried.

And yea, Hardy had a better body in Warrior than TDKR.

 

[Schlosser85]

He's a little bit of Brando..a little bit Oldman.

Ever hear Hardy talk about Oldman? He's like in love with him.

But honestly should they have casted Tom Hardy as Mad Max? Probably not if anything if they were going to reboot Mad Max they should have casted an Australian actor in the role rather than casting an Englishman in the role but knowing Hardy I am sure he will surprise us all as Max Rockatansky considering he played Bane in Dark Knight Rises and he pretty much stole the show in that movie

Max apparently has very very few lines so I doubt there will be accent issues.

 

[Schlosser85]

From the trailer Hardy sounds Australian enough.

 

[redhawk23]

Also it means we dodged a Jai Courtney shaped bullet.

Seriously who is that guy's agent? He seems to be everywhere in upcoming movies despite being terrible.

 

[Sawyer]

Terrible is a stretch.

 

[terry78]

It varies. With Oldman for example you really have to know the guy sometimes to figure out it's him under all that ****. He doesn't just have that one familiar look most actors have out of costume.

 

[Schlosser85]

I think Hardy looks pretty different between, say, Bronson, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and Lawless.

 

[redhawk23]

Terrible is a stretch.

He came off the same assembly line as Sam Worthington.

It really depends on the role, doesn't it? He likes to play dress-up roles. Mason Verger, Sirius Black, junkie in True Romance. Bronson does more straight-forward movies but there's some dress-up in there. Bronson and TDKR come to mind.

 

[Schlosser85]

Hardy idolizes Oldman.

Haha, yeah. I remember when I saw the movie poster for ST: Nemesis. My initial reaction was: Picard and the crew face off against... Billy Corgan?!

 

[Whiskey Tango]

He came off the same assembly line as Sam Worthington.

I'm with you. Zero charisma or presence. Courtney's destined for a fulfilling career playing roles like Bodyguard #2 or Thug in Van.

[Sawyer]

What a bae.

 

[Schlosser85]

Hardy's gotten pretty good at the broody glower, no doubt about it.

Tom is one of those guys who looks better and more handsome now than he did when he was in his 20's. Same thing with Chris Pine. He looked weird in The Prince Diaries. Maybe it's the muscle gain.

 

[Black Narcissus]

John Schnepp loved it.

When Hardy was young and skinny and his face was thinner, it made his lips look huge. Now that his face is filled out, his lips don't look so out of proportion.

Seeing him in something like Star Trek Nemesis in hindsight after his more recent burly macho roles like Warrior and Lawless is really weird. He's like a whole other person. In Trek and some other stuff when he was young, he came off as this prissy posh pretty boy and almost kind of effeminate.
