I still remember when NBC had “must-watch” Thursday line-ups. I’m genuinely surprised sometimes by how much TV has changed just in the past ten years. “You get a higher level of talent who don’t want to commit to a longterm deal,” he said about the approach. And not only that, Hardy revealed that he’s developing a show that essentially emulates the “True Detective” model, that will enable him to secure top tier creatives.
“I would rather take that £18m budget and produce a TV series where an idea can fully flourish, rather than see it have to tick certain boxes and get cut into something it was never meant to be,” Hardy told Screen Daily. Meanwhile, did you know that Tom recently inked a deal with NBC Universal? Tom’s production company Hardy Son and Baker will get a “first look deal” which will probably enable him to produce TV shows in America and Britain. Matt Damon is always extra attractive (to me) when he’s wearing his dorky Transitions lenses. Apparently, when Tom is wearing glasses he’s playing Ronnie. The Krays were twin brothers, and both were notorious gangsters in the 1960s in London’s East End. It seems like I was wrong about Tom’s next project – the Elton John bio-pic must have been pushed back, and Tom keeps a much tighter schedule than Benedict Cumberbatch, so he’s already filming this movie, Legend, where he plays Ronnie and Reggie Kray. These are photos of Tom, in character, filming in London yesterday. When that boy is Tom Hardy, he can wear glasses, leather jeggings and a red lace bra and I’d still want to hit it. Girls don’t make passes at boys who wear… nevermind.
