Not to be confused with the Ridley Scott 1980’s fantasy film with Tom Cruise, StudioCanal has debuted the trailer for LEGEND.
The upcoming film, featuring double the talent from Tom Hardy (MAD MAX: FURY ROAD), is the true story of the Kray twins, a pair of gangsters who controlled much of London’s organized crime in the 60s.
According to sources, LEGEND generated a lot of buzz at Cannes last year, with buyers claiming Brian Hegleland’s screenplay (who penned L.A. CONFIDENTIAL) was one of the best scripts they’d come across. From the trailer, which you can view below, you can bet there is much truth in that. There’s undeniably a GOODFELLAS-like tone from the trailer– so taking that and throwing Hardy in front of the lens, well, you can color us excited.
LEGEND opens in sometime in September.
