Helgeland stopped by Deadline/Awardsline studio at TIFF where he discussed the film and how Hardy got lost in the parts. Synopsis: Suave, charming and volatile, Reggie Kray (Tom Hardy) and his unstable twin brother Ronnie start to leave their mark on the London underworld in the 1960s. He also won the 2011 BAFTA Rising Star Award, and has twice won the British Independent Film Award for Best Actor, for Bronson (2009) and Legend (2015). He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the 2015 film The Revenant.
Legend recently opened in the United Kingdom where it made close to $8M, cracking all sorts of September records there. The following is a list of awards and nominations received by English actor Tom Hardy. Directed by Brian Helgeland, Legend is a co-production with Studiocanal, Working Title Films and Crook Creek Pictures. Following its limited play, Legend will expand to additional U.S. Tom Hardy, Emily Browning (who acts as a narrator from beyond the grave), David Thewlis and Christopher Eccleston. Not to mention, a platform roll out will allow more audiences to find Legend and for word of mouth to build it’s a different kind of gangster epic (very British in fact), one which could play strong into awards season, in particular for Hardy as best actor. November 20 boasts fewer male-demo pics, such as The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 and STX’s The Secret in Their Eyes. This is not a slap in the face to the film, in fact it’s a better springboard for Legend. The original October 2 release was bulked up with too many guy pics, read 20th Century Fox’s The Martian and Sony’s Imax-fueled The Walk. After scoring cheers at its Toronto International Film Festival premiere, Universal’s Legendstarring Tom Hardy as British gangster twins Reggie and Ronnie Kray is moving off its October 2 release date to Friday, November 20 where it will open in New York and Los Angeles.
