Tom Hardy is really excited about a secret DC project he's working on. Here are the details...
NewsTalking to Collider to promote Mad Max: Fury Road, Hardy teased a secret "awesome" DC project he's currently in talks about with Warner Bros. While the actor didn't say what the project was, and what he does say doesn't make any sense, we feel obliged to share his comments with you.
Hardy, who is no stranger to comic book roles (he was Bane in The Dark Knight Rises), said:
It’s really good actually, it contains elements of all kinds of stuff. From Ocean’s Eleven, to Batman, you can get all the wrappers out and it would be a big, really cool, Technicolor, Pulp Fiction…It’s a psychological fuckfest, it’s absolutely awesome. It’s as if you would take Transmetropolitan and make it happen, but it’s not that out there it’s something which is much more real world. It could be like Heat, it could be fucking awesome. Let me tell you what it is, try and guess.
He then went on to say that the project wasn't even a movie. And teased just how big the project would be:
It’s already… It’s real estate, it’s PRIME real estate which is sitting there right under everybody’s nose that no one’s really thought about yet and it goes TV and movie, it’s awesome. I can’t believe that nobody has even –I know they thought of it but no one has actually blown life into it yet.
It would seem that Hardy is saying that this would be a film and TV crossover thing, like what Marvel does with its cinematic and TV universes.
While this banter makes Hardy sound a little unstable, there's probably a bit of truth to it if he says Warner Bros. has already sat down with him to chat about the secret project.
We'll keep you updated when we learn more about Transmetropolitan vs. The Invisibles: The Movie in Space.
