Tom Hardy Covers Empire Magazine For Mad Max: Fury Road

Empire Magazine has the very good taste to feature Tom Hardy on the cover of it’s February issue in anticipation for the upcoming Mad Max: Fury Road:

The February issue’s cover story is a journey through Mad Max lore, with Miller himself acting as your escort across a two-decade-long Mad Max: Fury Road making-of that took in triumphs, disasters and even an invasion of rogue amphibians.

The writer/director opens up about everything from Mel Gibson’s early involvement to Heath Ledger’s possible casting and finally Hardy’s take on Rockatansky.

For fans of the character – and of singular sci-fi visions that have lasted the years – it’s unmissable.

TV: Hunky Tom Hardy To Star In New FX Series “Taboo”

Hunky Tom Hardy is set to star in new TV series Taboo for FX

FX has picked up a new drama starring the very hunky Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) as an adventurer in Africa. The show is expected to premiere in 2016 with an eight episode season.

From EW:

Titled Taboo, the series is set in 1813 and follows James Keziah Delaney (Hardy), “a rogue adventurer who returns from Africa with 14 ill-gotten diamonds to seek vengeance after the death of his father. Refusing to sell the family business to the East India Company, he sets out to build his own trade and shipping empire and finds himself playing a very dangerous game.”

The project was created by Hardy and his father, Chips Hardy. Taboo is executive produced by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner), among others, and written by Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things). “FX is the perfect partner to engage with this dark, fantastic world that Tom and Steven have created,” Scott said.

Scene stealer: Tom Hardy vs Rocco the dog in THE DROP

In a scene from the just released mob drama The Drop, Tom Hardy and Noomi Rapace have a cute scene in a pet store where Rocco the dog may have just stolen my attention from the handsome Hardy.

I have to admit I agree with Noomi’s character – “Rocco” is a better name for a dog. “Mike,” while a great name for a husband, doesn’t really land for me in dog names.

The film also features James Gandolfini, in one of his final film roles.

In theaters now.

Tom Hardy to play twin gangsters in upcoming “Legend”

Tom Hardy

Hunky Tom Hardy is set to play twin gangsters in the upcoming film Legend.

The Kray twins, Ronnie and Reggie, apparently made quite the noise back in London organizing The Firm, a gang that ran East London’s underworldduring the 50s and 60s.

But it wasn’t just organized crime the two became known for.

The Backlot reports:

But perhaps more interesting than the Kray Twins’ penchant for criminality was their love lives. The Daily Mail (always a reliable source…) has gone on to claim that “Ronnie and Reggie Kray were both gay and Ronnie never consummated his marriage […] although Ronnie admitted his homosexuality in his mid-teens, his brother Reggie was also gay and his marriage to Frances Shea was a sham.”

Hardy, commenting on the confirmed role, had this to say: “I’ve got to work out how to play both twins, which will be fun. It’s another experiment and I’m really looking forward to it.”

Tom Hardy on “wish list” for Marvel Comics upcoming “Dr. Strange”

Tom Hard (L), and Benedict Cumberbatch (R)

Tom Hardy (!!!) and Benedict Cumberbatch seem to be at the top of Marvel’s wish list to star in an upcoming film adaptation of “Doctor Strange.”

From Deadline:

Stan Lee and Steve Ditko created the character in 1963 as a neurosurgeon who serves as the Sorcerer Supreme, protecting Earth against magical and mystical threats with powers of sorcery, mysticism, and martial arts.

Hardy, by way of playing “Bane” in The Dark Knight Rises, is closer. He just starred in the superb Steven Knight-directed drama Locke, and he wrapped Child 44 and Mad Max: Fury Road.

Cumberbatch, coming off August: Osage County and 12 Years A Slave, next will be seen starring in the Morten Tyldum-directed Imitation Game, which The Weinstein Company opens on November 21 during Oscar season.

Both are super-busy these days, but I’m down for a hunky “Doc Strange” via Tom Hardy. Where do I buy the tickets?

Don’t forget, Tom is also in the middle of prepping/shooting the upcoming Elton John biopic.  There’s a reason why we like Mr. Hardy so much here at The Randy Report 🙂

Just a little reminder of Mr. Tom Hardy shirtless.  Need I say anything more?

Regular readers may have noticed I’ve developed a new celeb “crush.”

Handsome, woofy, and talented.

Tom’s latest movie, Locke, has just been released in the US.

In reviewing the film, Variety called it “An exceptional one-man show for Tom Hardy, this ingeniously executed study in cinematic minimalism has depth, beauty and poise.”

And now, back to Tom undressing for us…

Tom Hardy says he’s wearing Elton John’s clothes as prep for biopic “Rocketman”

“When I play a real person, I like to have bits of them. Since I can’t take physical body parts and sever those, I try and grab as much ‘kit’ off them as possible… Then you can sell it on eBay.”
– Tom Hardy, who’ll play Elton John in the forthcoming biopic Rocketman, discussing how he gets in character with the New York Post

Sorry, couldn’t find a pic of Tom Hardy wearing any of Elton’s clothes – so I thought this would work.

Tom Hardy on playing Elton John in biopic: “I can’t hold a tune to save my life”

Tom Hardy with Sir Elton John

I recently reported here that Tom Hardy was cast in the upcoming bio-pic of Elton John’s life.

And yes – Tom is cast as Elton.  Hardly type-casting, but who cares?

Tom recently revealed in an interview that singing isn’t his strongest suit. When asked if he’d be doing the singing he said:

“Yeah, I hope so. Otherwise I’ll have probably failed, right? But that’s terrifying me. I can’t hold a tune to save my life.”

I have no worries.  Tom is a formidable and creative actor, no matter what he does.

Plus, I can always turn down the volume and just watch.

That face.  Sigh…
