New film about the Kray twins called "Legend"

Tom Hardy plays Ronnie Kray. Meanwhile Tom Hardy plays Reggie Kray (yet weirdly they've made one look slightly different to the other)

Last Kray twins movie I saw was the 1990 version starring Martin and Gary Kemp from Spandau Ballet

This might be better
 
Looks awesome. He is born to play this. Watch Martina Cole's The Take. He plays an absolute total cockney psycho in that 4 part series.

I think he is one of the very best actors in the world at the moment, if not the best. I think he is that good. One of the few people who I'll watch a movie solely because he is in it. Can't wait for Mad Max.
 
Disappointed it's not this:

That was my first thought, too!


OK, a movie about the Krays, with Tom Hardy? I'm in.
 
He certainly made that movie with Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon watchable... whatever it was called.

The 1980s film The Krays with those guys from Spandau Ballet is surprisingly good, IMHO but anything with Hardy is worth a watch. His performance in Brosnan is magnificent.

His performances are often based around the voice he adopts - Bane's growl, Charles Bronson's circus-strongman bellow and, my own personal favourite, the Jewish cockney accent he had in Season 2 of Peaky Blinders. I look forward to hearing something similar in Legend.

Agreed. It focused more on the motivations and family relations than on the crimes; it could have been a lot more violent and gory.

Another good film that came out around the same time and was set in Britain about the same time was Scandal, about the Christine Keeler/Profumo affair. I haven't heard much about either of them for a long time but they were both pretty good movies.
 
^ Yes, I liked it too. Genre kudos now for having Ian McKellen and John Hurt.

Apparently Trevor Eve's character in it is a thinly disguised Douglas Fairbanks Jr, who was named in court proceedings as being involved in orgies organised by Stephen award (the character played by John Hurt) but was never proven to have been involved. So they couldn't identify him as Faiirbanks for legal reasons,
