Hardy: Although they were very serious boxers when they were younger and you’d expect these two gangsters to be incredibly violent and brutal and gritty, we wanted to go for the complete paradoxical opposite of that and have sort of a catfight, like two old ladies or two old men going at each other. McNulty: I don’t know Tom Hardy that well, but this was two different people when I was cutting the movie. They’re in the middle, then he throws his brother to the other end, then they’re up and they’re over there … so Brian and I thought, “To hell with it. Pope: Julian and Tom showed us what they’d worked out for the fight, and it went all over the ballroom. Frances grimaces as the force of it all escalates. Julian Spencer, fight choreographer: I had a fight with my brother many years ago, and you don’t fight to the death because they’re your family.Īnd it’s on. There’s so much glorifying of criminals and gangster culture, I thought it was really important to tell a story about these two brothers that was quite human. Tom Hardy, actor: We wanted to tell the story of two brothers who didn’t want to kill each other but they wanted to have a good old proper tear-up. We’re talking about being gangsters, which is what we are. We’re talking about earning a living, Frances. Every single lamp in that scene was cheap and low tech, with practical lighting. It goes with the feel that Ronnie’s let the club sink into squalor.
Reggie, trying to control himself, looks at Frances who looks back at him.ĭick Pope, director of photography: All the other scenes in the club are darker brighter and garish.
Here, the cast and crew - along with script excerpts - reveal how the scene came together. A full-on fistfight breaks out between the two men, who, you’ll remember, are really just Hardy. The tension between them comes to a head after Reggie is released from a stint in prison and returns with his girlfriend, Frances (Emily Browning), to the nightclub the twins own. Reggie Kray is depicted as suave, intelligent - and fatally loyal to his brother, Ron, a paranoid schizophrenic with uncontrollably violent tendencies. Interestingly, the Knicks went from a bad defensive unit starting Nerlens Noel - their most-used starting five - to a very good one with Mitchell Robinson in his place.In “Legend,” Tom Hardy turns in a critically lauded performance as both of the infamous Kray twins, gangsters in the early days of Swinging London. He’s not a game-changing defensive player, one who harries and harasses opponents to the point they get flustered or change their plan of attack, but he’s comfortable within a system. He started all but one game on last year’s Knicks, which reached the postseason as a fourth seed, and he did so because he fits in beautifully as a complementary player within any roster. As modern basketball shifts smaller and more focused on two-way skill, Bullock is best-suited for that role on this team. Reggie Bullock Bullock is my preferred fifth starter. We’ll debate those first before moving onto the other three players I’m pushing into rotational roles. There are six interesting players mixed into this group, of which I’ve identified three as potential fifth starters.
This second installment is my favorite of the three. The Mavericks’ first four players have an obvious wunderkind in Luka Doncic, then three good players who aren’t as good as they’re being paid to be or the roles they’re being asked to fill.
