I only just now realised something about this second part of Sergeant Slaughter My Big Brother (directed by Greg Williams), depicted in the photos above, This part of the short film wasn’t included in the final edit, and it struck me that it’s most likely because of the Samarkand project.

Samarkand is a story about a man returning to the UK from a war zone in the Middle East, with PTSD. And SSMBB was about a guy who joined the foreign legion and who - in the part we haven’t seen - returned looking a LOT worse for wear. Maybe homeless, definitely psychologically damaged.

My theory is that they left this out from the short film, in order to make it into a feature film, i.e. Samarkand. :)

Tom in Sergeant Slaughter My Big Brother again. Because I can’t resist that pouty, regretful face.

Tom in Sergeant Slaughter My Big Brother.

One new and one old photo of Tom Hardy from the set of Sergeant Slaughter My Big Brother from 2010.

I think he was growing out his hair for Mad Max here, so maybe the first still is how Max Rockatansky might have looked.

Two new stills of Tom Hardy in Sergeant Slaughter My Big Brother.

The scenes which these stills depict very sadly didn’t end up in the final cut of the short film, so we’ll have to live with our questions of what happened to Dan. Did he become a heavily armed, renegade homeless man, after he came back from whatever traumatic war he participated in?
