Tom Hardy as the Kray twins in "Legend"

[Deserana]

Ohhh this film was tailor made for Hardy.

This could be a very good project for him. Hardy has a lot of range, IMO, and how better to show it off than a dual role as two different characters in the same movie?

 

[Team Andino]

Didn't hear about this until today when that pic of Hardy as both characters came online. I'm already overly excited to see this, I'm usually interested in anything Hardy is in, but this concept with his range is just ripe for something incredible to come from it. Even if the movie isn't the best, I'll still be excited to see his performance alone.

That's obviously Reggie. It's gonna be cool to see the differences in Hardy's performance. Reggie was always the cooler, more suave twin. Which kinda made Ronnie jealous and led to him developing a sociopathic inferiority complex that he hid by exerting power over others, including "boys".

This could really be a great film.

 

[Octoberist]

the only issue is the nasty generic title.

 

[The Endless]

Is it just called The Kray Twins then? Or The Krays?

 

[Schlosser85]

It's called Legend.

It's kind of cool how even just by set pics, Hardy looks so much scarier as Ronnie.

 

[The Endless]

Legend(s) may have been better. But yea it's pretty generic really.

And i agree, when he's Ronnie he has that scary intense look in his eyes for sure.

Emily Browning as Reggie's wife. This and the above pics of Hardy are from their wedding scene.

Thewlis and Eccleston are quality too.

Anyone seen Gangster No 1 with Bettany, Thewlis and Malcolm McDowell? Awesome film.

 

[Schlosser85]

I've seen Gangster No. 1. Bettany was awesome.

I've seen Gangster No. 1. Bettany was awesome.

Bettany says that Gangster No 1 is the film he is most recognized for in the UK.

 

[Schlosser85]

Hardy kinda looks like Bond in that last pic, IMO.

Hopefully we get some typical Hardy moments that include intense scares and very sudden bursts of anger.

I hope he doesn't just redo what he did in The Take but it was such a great performance that I also feel I wouldn't care.

 

[Schlosser85]

I feel intense stares and sudden bursts of anger are to be expected from Ronnie in particular.

I was just reading up on these guys. This seems like a role that was tailor-made for Hardy. Just reading quotes by them, I could hear Hardy's voice saying the words.

Only Tom Hardy could make that suit and those glasses look badass.
