Providing good value in cinematic acting ability, Legend offers a two-for-one deal on Tom Hardy, as he plays both halves of nefarious criminal sibling duo Ronnie and Reggie Kray. The new poster, showing the brothers dominating the London skyline, is online for your Hardification purposes.
For a time in the ‘50s and ‘60s, Ronnie and Reggie ruled East London with fists, pistols and pure, simple intimidation. Their gang, the unimaginatively-named but viciously effective The Firm, took control of the shadowy underworld and carried out armed robberies, arson, racketeering, assaults and murder.
LA Confidential’s Brian Helgeland is piloting us through this crime arena. Legend dips into the dark underbelly of the swinging ‘60s, when sharp-suited gangsters warred for turf and control, and innocent people were caught in the middle of the conflict, although criminals like Ronald and Reginald Kray liked to claim they only went after the competition.
Emily Browning, David Thewlis, Christopher Eccleston, Taron Egerton, Tara Fitzgerald and Chazz Palminteri fill out the main cast for the film, with Legend arriving September 9.
