The Dark Knight Rises Tom Hardy as Bane XIV

[The_Raganork]

This one is just.... bizarre.

A minor change, I don't mind the new call.

 

[Travesty]

Oh wow, Tom Hardy is in the new remastered Star Wars?

 

[The_Raganork]

I know, I know...Sorry.


Tom Hardy wears Under-Armour underwear and it looks so hot on him.

Back on topic!

By the sounds of the news from the Venice Film Festival, Tom and Gary are getting very favorable reviews in Tinker, as predicted.

I gotta quote some of these

The good news is that everyone is on top form, none more so than Oldman, who has wasted his talent on some worthless material over the years, but who shows here why he used to be considered the foremost actor of his generation.

This beautifully modulated piece of underacting deserves to make him a strong contender at next year’s Oscars.

Still, There are multiple momentary pleasures to be had across this spread of Britain’s finest — the shivery dignity of Colin Firth’s final scene, or even the way Simon McBurney ostentatiously bites into a slice of toast — but it’s the ever-impressive Tom Hardy who, together with the aforementioned Burke, most memorably seizes his metered screen time, bringing the same louchely knowing intelligence to proceedings that he used to breathe air into last year’s “Inception,” tempered with the darting fearfulness of a character who scarcely trusts his own words.

As Smiley, Oldman has perhaps handed himself the toughest task of all: with cherished memories of Alec Guinness’s TV portrayal weighing heavily on his shoulders, he has chosen to tread a similarly dry path of expression and gesture. Eyes frequently shielded by the character’s trademark cola-bottle spectacles, he works his own personality into sly infective details and hovers patiently around many scenes before snatching one for a moving, quivering monologue; it could be the one that secures the actor his long-overdue Oscar nomination, but for the most part, it’s selflessly subtle work that recognizes the character’s responsibility to fade into Alfredson and DP Hoyte van Hoytema’s carefully autumnal palette of dun browns and flannely charcoals.

We’re virtually past the point of having to say that Tom Hardy is brilliant in a film, but brilliant he is, and once more showing new strings to his bow; soft and vulnerable, deeply wounded by being shut out by his employers, he couldn’t be more different to his other turn of the moment, the brutal, turned inward brawler in “Warrior.”

We can’t remember the last time that Oldman put in such strong work as he does here. His eyes magnified by the giant eyewear, he’s a buttoned-down, repressed type, but with only the tiniest shift in the face, he can show a man shattered by betrayal, while still giving a certain cold professional: when he has to deceive an ally or hang an asset out to dry, he does so without blinking. The scene where he discusses meeting his adversary Karla, and what another character calls his ‘blind spot’ of his unfaithful wife (smartly kept from the camera by Alfredson, her face never glimpsed), is a something of a masterclass. But it’s also a tremendously generous performance. It would have been easy for Smiley to dominate, as grey and background-hugging as he could be, but Oldman is a great listener here, clearly loving and respecting his colleagues enough to let them match him punch-by-punch.

Oldman gives a deliciously delicate, shaded performance, flitting in and out of the wings like some darting grey lizard. We have the sense that Smiley has seen too much and done too much, and that a lifetime's experience has bled him of colour. His eyes are tired, his collar too tight, his necktie a noose. Yet still he keeps coming, quietly infiltrating a first-rate supporting cast that includes Mark Strong, Kathy Burke and Colin Firth. Away in Istanbul, Tom Hardy raises the roof as Ricki Tarr, the tale's bullish rogue element, while Benedict Cumberbatch is mesmerising as the well-groomed gentleman conspirator coming slowly apart at the seams.

I can't wait for Tinker. It looks great.

 

[The_Raganork]

Tinker is going to be a force.

 

[venus_ice]

I can't believe I have to wait until December and anyone in the UK can see it this month.

If Oldman wins the Oscar then it was worth it.

 

[venus_ice]

I really hope so. I even watched Red Riding Hood this weekend. THAT'S who much I love you, Gary. (It wasn't that bad.)

I guess it's time to reread the book.

 

[Nevincer]

Damn it, that shouldn't have made me laugh, but what the hell...

 

[Boom]

I understand why they pushed the US release date to December, and I hope it pays off in a big way (Oldman's long overdue nomination).

That doesn't make it any less cruel .

This one seems to be different, rushing through his lines rather than the long pauses in previous videos we've seen.

Sorry if it's been posted already, I haven't been around here for a few weeks.

did he say: "haha:?

 

[StarLord]

did he say: "haha:?

At the end or after he says ''liberation?

It sounded like it both times!

I don't even want to know about the ****storm that's going to come from that little noise he made.

 

[StarLord]

After listening to it a few times, it sounded like he was making duck noises.

 

[dark_b]

o god please let this be a joke. i hope Hardy was joking

 

[Travesty]

Hehe, that voice....that voice.....

 

[regwec]

He has a beak under the mask.

Nolan is using Bane as a "realistic" version of the Penguin; hence the sewer dwelling and rather ornithological speech idioms.

You forget the "craters" on Bane that UUBee reported. Hence, we must not exclude the fact that WB says he's also Killer Croc. What does this mean?

Spoiler

Third act reveal that he is Clay Face.

He actually Ra's Al Ghul after the Laz Pit.

 

[TheBatman072]

Jesus that's so freaking bad.

And that's not a slight against Hardy. I'm sure Heath made some very bad choices before he settled on what Joker would sound like for TDK.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I've just listened to the Hardy Bane "voice" for the first time (let's not get too attached or unattached to it, post-production will certainly change things plus it won't be heard on such crappy equipment and encoded poorly)...anyway, it's pretty unique as is.

I believe this is one of the last takes. The video couldn't capture it well, but this is where Hardy really emphasized the guttural and animalistic growls in between his words.
