Tom Hardy Brings The Badass In These Two Clips From LAWLESS!
Nordling here.
You know what sucks about THE DARK KNIGHT RISES? I'll say it flat out. We have an amazing actor in Tom Hardy; he's intense, has a great emotional range, and a real physical presence onscreen. And TDKR has this terrific actor with a mask on, blocking off the audience from almost all of his emotions. Now, Hardy can put it in the eyes, and for TDKR that may well be enough; I haven't seen it. It's just an issue I have with the footage I've seen so far.
Now in John Hillcoat's LAWLESS? We get Tom Hardy in all his glory, and I am seriously stoked to see him face off with other greats like Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman. For now, though, we have these two clips - one where Hardy and Pearce size each other up:
And in the other, Hardy lays down a little brotherly advice to Shia LeBeouf:
LAWLESS opens this August. Lock and load.

This looks awesome.
-
Doesn't everyone on here complain because movies keep having superheroes take their masks off?? Or do we want him to take his mask off because he's a villain?
-
I am willing to bet anything we will get at least one great scene with Hardy in TDKR with his mask off.. Probably near the end when he is dying.. Similar to the Vader scene in SW:ROTJ
-
Yeah, I'm OK with it.
-
If I may indulge in a sports metaphor.
-
how come he seems 100x more bad-ass in this movie than in TDKR? and how do Tom Hardy and Andrew Lincoln pull off better southern accents than Shia LaPoof?

Is this the same Hardy who rotted like dead Fish in Star Trek-Nemesis?

You should be glad he's not wearing a Mexican wrestling mask.

fucking snoozefest. And this guy was great in the British Miniseries called The Take. WTF happened?
-
it's going to spoil the whole fucking movie for me
-
Tom Hardy's expert use of cadence and rhythms in his speech pattern is simply brilliant. The guy can say almost anything and deliver intensity like no other popular actor working today.

Great actor, dick in real life. Not that it matters though I guess.
by Pigdog

At first I saw him simply as just some 'tough guy' persona...more like a Jason Statham. A one trick pony with the range of a Daisy Air Rifle. But he's got some chops and can do some subtle stuff. I realized I recently saw him in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. He disappeared into that role.
-
I recently saw him in a couple of interviews and agree... he has a weird vibe. Comes off like a dick.
-
I knew that he was in Nemesis and Black Hawk Down, but he really impressed me with his work in BRONSON...kinda reminiscent of Eric Bana's work in CHOPPER.
-
...squaring off with Oldman in "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", which is the first of three films they've done together, back to back. As far as being concerned with his ability to hit the notes while hidden behind a mask, as Bane -- I'd say keep in mind just how effective Hugo Weaving was in "V For Vendetta". Hardy will make Bane his own, just like Ledger did with the Joker.
-
...how about you wait and make your mind up WHEN YOU SEE THE FILM.
-
It's only his mouth being covered up anyway, Nordling. David Prowse was completely covered from head to toe in the STAR WARS Trilogy and nobody was able to recreate what he did with his body language. The voice inflection was his too for that matter. James Earl Jones might have voiced Darth Vader, but he followed David Prowse's voice pattern exactly. Watch the special features where you can actually hear David Prowse as Darth Vader and the way he says "You are paaart of the Rebel Alliance... andatrader"! It's unmistakably Darth Vader's way of talking. Tom Hardy is an outstanding actor, and I guarantee Bane will be very memorable.

oscar nod maybe? also was that jason clarke in the second that they showed for like a second? didnt know he was in this
-
The character wears a mask. I don't even like Bane but ffs they hired a good actor to play a guy in a mask. Should they have hired a shitty one so it wouldn't be an "issue"?
-
I can't stand this kids face and his horrible overacting

You haven't seen terrifying Hardy until you've seen The Take
by IWantCheese
The guy is like an unexploded bomb.
-
Not interested in anything with him in it.

As in Man's penis and semen...
