Tom Hardy is quietly putting together a remarkable resume of transformative character performances, from Dark Knight Rises to Locke, Warrior, Mad Max, and now Legend, where he plays the notorious Kray twins- the 60's British gangsters who rose to prominence on the London party scene before getting caught in 1969. Brian Helgeland (writer of L.A. Confidential) wrote and directed this film, which is coming out October 2nd in the U.S. Could this be Hardy's invitation to the Oscars for the first time? He hasn't been around that long, but he's already starting to feel overdue for recognition.
