From a Swedish paper (!), some words from Tom Hardy on Tomas Alfredson and more (translation by me):

A greeting from hard man Hardy to the director Tomas Alfredson:
“Promise you’ll go back to Sweden and ask Tomas Alfredson to call me. I want to work with him again. I want to be a part of Tomas’ family”, Tom Hardy says and laughs.
If you think that movie stars always look like they do on the red carpet, with all the flashes going off, it’s a (nice) exception to meet Hollywood’s new favourite Brit. Tom Hardy, 34, wears tattered jeans, tattoos spilling out from his green t-shirt and then that enormous beard, but it is there for a reason.
“It’s for a part. And there’s a woman I’m playing against”, he says and points to a photo of Charlize Theron on the wall.
Tom Hardy is filming Mad Max in George Miller’s new version, but is in Cannes with the Palme d’Or nominate Lawless, a brutal story of three bootlegging brothers in the US during the depression. Hardy plays the apparently emotionless middle brother Forrest. 
“I had a cigar and a hat and muscles, but that was because I was preparing for Batman at the same time.
“The tough guy isn’t tough at all, it’s a man covering for the loss of his mother. Nobody ever cared about Forrest”, Tom Hardy says. 
His career started with Band of Brothers and Black Hawk Down, but lately he’s become a favourite for the bad guy, in for example Inception and Warrior. During this interview in Cannes, he’s far from a brute, laughing, jumping into the photo, being silly. When his Lawless colleague Guy Pearce says he chooses parts because of characters, scripts and director, Hardy shouts. “Money! There has to be a lot of zeroes.”
I ask what Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy meant to him and Tom Hardy answers immediately. 
“I love to talk about Tomas Alfredson! He’s amazing, does his own thing. He’s one of the loveliest men I’ve met, he’s an artist. He’s someone I’ll try to work with again”, Hardy says then corrects himself. “FOR, I want to work FOR him! I hope to work WITH him too, when I grow up.”

#Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy First Look featurette exclusive to region 1 DVD/Blu Ray.
Aired on HBO in February.

Yay! :)

Some beautiful photos from the set of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in Istanbul. From the Turkish art director. 

I’m completely in love with every loving detail in this movie, there’s so much feeling and sense of time and place in these sets. I love that it looks dusty and cluttered and REAL. I’m guessing the two first pics are from Tom Hardy’s character’s place. But we never saw those rooms, did we?

Tom Hardy in ONLY that blue shirt!

With such gorgeous legs, he should really wear very short shorts whenever possible. Or maybe just lose his pants more often. *g*

Tom Hardy/Ricki Tarr in screencaps from Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It’s really amazing how good Tom looks in a blue shirt. :)

Gary’s smacking advice

Since tonight is Gary’s big night (but I have a feeling he won’t win, damn it) here are some words from the man himself. :)

Gary Oldman is an old pro at walking red carpets, but as a first-time Oscar nominee, Sunday will be different. “I’m very excited,” he said. “I’m not nervous. I’ve had a great ride and I’m looking forward to it.”

Oldman worked with some younger talent on his nominated film, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and joked when asked what advice he gave co-stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy. “I smack ‘em,” Oldman quipped. “No, they don’t need anything from me. They are wonderful. It was a wonderful thing, a harmonic thing — right place, right part, right cast, right director.”

Tom Hardy in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. ♥ ♥  

Screencaps from here

I only just realised how much lighter his wig is in the Istanbul scenes than in London. Because it’s dirty then? Because it was sun bleached in Istanbul?

Just a reminder of how splendid Tom Hardy is in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. 

Lovely screencaps from here
