Tom Hardy reveals his Al Capone preparation

Tom Hardy’s career just keeps moving onwards and upwards and he is now set to play the infamous gangster Al Capone, in the new movie based on his rise to power titled Cicero. Tom has been discussing how he has been getting himself in to the right mindset for the part and that he has been watching a lot of old gangster movies in a bid to portray Al Capone convincingly.

Hardy explained, "I’ve been working with Warner Bros, watching their gangster films, the ones with James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson. It’s interesting to get them, and a bit of Capone, into the bloodstream. The idea isn’t to remake those films but to get a flavour of them as we explore Capone’s career as a racketeer. The idea at the moment is of doing a trilogy of films, but nothing is set. Everyone is just talking and exploring."
Tom Hardy has three movies out this year, all of which look set to be impressive movies. This Means War is set to be released on February 17, while The Dark Knight Rises, which sees Tom playing the villain Bane, is released on July 20, with Wettest County being released on August 31. Tom Hardy was recently confirmed to be playing the role of Mad Max in the remake of the hit Mel Gibson movie. Cicero is set to begin production in 2013.
