Tom Hardy To Play Al Capone In New Movie ‘Fonzo’ From Josh Trank

[Schlosser85]

He looks more like Vito Corleone than Al Capone, though.

 

[Boom]

Yeah. Not nearly fat enough.

 

[Schlosser85]

This looks better (from Josh Trank's Instagram). Still needs to be fatter though.

 

[THE WOLF]

They're going to put him in a fat suit?

 

[Schlosser85]

I’d assume so but we haven’t seen so far.

 

[StarLord]

I dunno. Will need to see a promo pic or something better, but it's looking a little 1990 Dick Tracy IMO.

 

[Schlosser85]

Getting slight Johnny Depp in Black Mass vibes.

Hardy's not gonna look right unless they're gonna fatten him up though.

Hardy said this to a UK newspaper, apparently:

For the project, Tom had to once again alter his appearance, however, he claimed it wouldn't be as drastic as his muscular roles.
The Taboo star previously told the Daily Beast: 'It's not the classic Al Capone that you necessarily envision with the silhouette. I don't want to give too much away about it, but there's definitely a transformation with that role.
'I don't know if it's as drastic as Bane. I've probably damaged my body too much. I'm only little!'

It's not like he has to gain a bunch of weight. Just look at Gary Oldman as Churchill, all padding and prosthetics. Hardy's comments almost make it sound like he's not going for a full-on transformation though.

Fonzo Crew 2018. Thankyou. Every crew member legitimately outstanding. Best crew ever. Thankyou for your phenomenally hard work your talent and your passion. And great humour. Never seen anything like it. Well done and much love. See you out there

 

[Schlosser85]

I find it strange they didn't fatten up Hardy's face like Oldman as Churchill. It kind of throws off the resemblance. He could easily look a lot more like Capone with a rounder face.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

When does this come out again??

 

[Schlosser85]

TBA, from what I can find.

[Schlosser85]

Why is he playing Al Capone but his makeup keeps making him look like Vito Corleone?

 

[TheVileOne]

Tom Hardy is truly in his element in a film like this.

Mark Rylance?

Is Tom Hardy playing Gérard Depardieu playing Al Capone?

Don't put the idea in his head, or he'd do it.

Tom Hardy’s Al Capone Voice Is Somehow Based on Bugs Bunny

 

[David H.]

Omg. Didn’t he also just say that he was basing Eddie Brock on Woody Allen?
