There’s Ronnie (also Hardy), twin brother to Reggie, whose presence throughout plays as almost an almost third-wheel to the young lovers as their relationship develops. The film takes in the story of their courtship, which is glamorously wrapped around the criminal exploits of the infamous brothers throughout the colourful decade. Loosely based on the book ‘ The Profession Of Violence,’ Helgeland’s story is narrated by Frances Shea (played by Browning), the young girlfriend, and future wife of Reggie (Hardy). Helgeland’s film is immersed right in the middle of that world, and concentrates on the Krays at the height of their grip on London where the brothers have transferred from the East End to run clubs in the city’s famous Knightsbridge and Mayfair areas, mingling with celebrities of the day like Frank Sinatra, Barbara Windsor and Joan Collins. The Beatles have taken the pop world by storm, Carnaby Street is swinging its tits off, and the fashion, film and photography worlds have exploded. Legend is set in mid-1960s London, the city bursting with creativity. in a bold move, British actor Tom Hardy assumes both roles in the gangster epic Legend, which also stars Christopher Eccleston, Paul Bettany and Australian actress Emily Browning. Confidential, Brian Helgeland, comes a re-telling of the story of the famous Kray brothers, Ronnie and Reggie.
