The Mission

When Spain sells the colony to Portugal, they are forced to defend all they have built against the Portuguese aggressors.

More influences poured into the Hardys' original conception: including Roland Joffé's 1986 film The Mission - and, in creating Osborne (later James Keziah Delaney), the early cinematic performances of Oliver Reed and Richard Burton.

Whiplash

Under the direction of a ruthless instructor, a talented young drummer begins to pursue perfection at any cost, even his humanity.
Tom Hardy
Actor, Athlete
Where did you learn to act? Have you seen that movie Whiplash? I went to a school like that. You know, a drama school very similar to that. And the guy that trained me, they based Hannibal Lecter on him. His pursuit was just to fucking destroy us. He wanted us to achieve excellence, and I think all of us failed to impress him, to be fair.

Monster

An emotionally scarred highway drifter shoots a sadistic trick who rapes her, and ultimately becomes the United States' first female serial killer.
Tom Hardy

I mean, look at her in Monster—that's not somebody walking in the park. You don't just summon up that kind of authenticity without bringing a tremendous wealth of artistic ability. She's a very serious actor.

Bullhead

Young Limburg cattle farmer, Jacky Vanmarsenille, is approached by an unscrupulous veterinarian to make a shady deal with a notorious West-Flemish beef trader. But the assassination of a federal policeman, and an unexpected confrontation with a mysterious secret from his past, set in motion a chain of events with far-reaching consequences.
Tom Hardy
Actor, Athlete
Hardy confesses that he’d hoped to work with Roskam after seeing the Belgian director’s Oscar-nominated drama about a steroid-addled cattle farmer, Bullhead (2011.) “The movie genuinely fucked me up,” the actor says. “It just left me a wreck: ‘Well, thanks for that, mate…I’m going to just go stare into the abyss now for a while.’ But I could see how talented he was.”

I used Ted Bundy as a reference point, actually” Hardy says, puffing away on an e-cigarette. “I mean, there’s a lot of stuff I threw in there as I was trying to find my way: a lot of the Lenny character in Of Mice and Men, a little bit of The Sunshine Boys in terms of the relationship with Gandolfini, the classic notion of the bartender as therapist.

Mr. Holland's Opus

In 1965, passionate musician Glenn Holland takes a day job as a high school music teacher, convinced it's just a small obstacle on the road to his true calling: writing a historic opus. As the decades roll by with the composition unwritten but generations of students inspired through his teaching, Holland must redefine his life's purpose.
Tom Hardy
Actor, Athlete
I find crying difficult. It takes a long time for me to go. And I won’t know what will send me. I’m quite sentimental. If my son tells me he loves me, that will make me cry. [Richard Dreyfuss drama] Mr Holland’s Opus, unbelievably, broke me. A random anomaly.

Platoon

As a young and naive recruit in Vietnam, Chris Taylor faces a moral crisis when confronted with the horrors of war and the duality of man.
Tom Hardy
Actor, Athlete
"'Platoon.' I just think the end is really classy. I just thought it was a really beautifully put together film. "And 'Platoon' has got -- with the exception unfortunately of Charlie Sheen, everybody else in it is dope. Every actor and every character that I need as an English guy [is there]. You know what I mean? Every accent, class, creed, color, and religion is in there for me, so it’s a study book. It was something that had a taste across America [from] working class to upper class. It just had everything in it. "Plus, it’s the ’60s and ’70s, and it was a conscript Army, so it was an Everyman film."

Of Mice and Men

Drifters in search of work, George and his childlike friend Lennie, have nothing in the world except the clothes on their back - and a dream that one day they will have some land of their own. Eventually they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, but their hopes are dashed as Lennie - struggling against extreme cruelty, misunderstanding and feelings of jealousy - becomes a victim of his own strength. Tackling universal themes of friendship and shared vision, and giving a voice to America's lonely and dispossessed, Of Mice and Men remains Steinbeck's most popular work, achieving success as a novel, Broadway play and three acclaimed films.

Come Dine with Me

Amateur chefs compete against each other by hosting a dinner party for the other contestants. Each competitor then rates the host's performance with the winner winning a £1,000 cash prize. An element of comedy is added to the show through comedian Dave Lamb, who provides a dry and "bitingly sarcastic" narration.

And I watch Come Dine with Me with my wife. Keep it real. Let’s be honest, that shit is good.

Tom great job on that Venom voice, man. Like it was amazing. Where did you come up with that? Redman, Busta Rhymes, James Brown, as ingredients. And I played with it. The fusion to create what you hear, which sounds nothing like them.

Method Man

Actor, Athlete
Hardy plays both Brock and the voice of the symbiote. He envisioned Brock as “a mixture of Woody Allen and Conor McGregor: tortured neurosis but also bravado,” while for the alien he channelled “one of those rappers from the Nineties, big voices: Redman or Method Man”
