One of Tom Hardy's co-stars had generous things to say about him.

On Friday, TV3 posted details from actor Matthias Schoenaerts who worked with Hardy in The Drop. Not only did he mention that Hardy is very dedicated to his work, but he's extremely creative in how he gets things done.

"Tom is a bada-s actor in the purest sense of the word," Schoenaerts told Britain's Closer magazine. "He's inspiring to work with. He's very committed, very imaginative, very sensitive and at the same time very brutal. I don't mean that in a violent way, I mean it in the sense that he's very authentic in his expression. That's what I liked about Tom; he's direct, there's no filter."

Watch: First Trailer For 'The Drop' Starring Tom Hardy, James Gandolfini, Noomi Rapace & Matthias Schoenaerts

Co-starring the late James Gandolfini, Noomi Rapace and Matthias Schoenaerts, and directed by "Bullhead" filmmaker Michael Roskam, this one follows an ex-con trying to go straight, working a legit job in a bar, whose life gets upended by a robbery gone wrong. It's potent stuff, particularly for this Boston Brooklyn-set tale, and Roskam knew he had a great duo in Hardy and Gandolfini. "I could see there was a bit of a smile between them. It was like, 'We're going to nail this, right?' " Roskam said of the production. "And they did this intense scene and were just spot on. There was a beautiful connection between those two guys."

See that chemistry below in the first trailer for the film. Fox Searchlight will bring it to theaters on September 19th. Watch below.

Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet: Kate gets back with her Sense and Sensibility husband (... and doesn't she look really thrilled about it!) (DAILY MAIL)

By LARA GOULD

The last time Kate Winslet looked this bedraggled she was playing Alan Rickman’s bride in Sense And Sensibility – the role that catapulted her to international stardom.

But the actress didn’t exactly look overjoyed when she joined forces with him again to shoot scenes for new film A Little Chaos last week.

With her hair lank and unstyled, and wearing a loose-fitting blue dressing gown, her image certainly fitted the film’s title.

A Little Chaos tells the story of two rival landscape gardeners  in 17th Century France vying for the favour of King Louis XIV for the chance to design a new fountain at his Versailles palace.

The movie, which has taken five years to bring to the big screen, also stars Belgian actor Matthias  Schoenaerts.

It does not look as if director Rickman, 67, is asking Kate to revive  the glamorous roles she played in Titanic and The Holiday.

The project marks a return to work for Kate, 37, who has been enjoying something of an extended honeymoon since her December marriage to third husband Ned Rocknroll, 34, the nephew of Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson.

Alan Rickman tends to his own garden, back in director’s chair By Marlee Walters JANUARY 21, 2013 (CRITICAL MOB)

Rival landscape gardeners, hear us out: Alan Rickman.

Rickman hasn't directed since 1997 and hasn't teamed up with Kate Winslet since 1995's Sense and Sensibility, but that doesn't mean he's lost his touch. He's directing a period piece about two rival landscape gardeners (Winslet and Rust and Bone's Matthias Schoenaerts) commissioned to create a fountain for Louis XIV.

ALAN RICKMAN: Kate Winslet & Matthias Schoenaerts To Star In Alan Rickman Directed Period Drama 'A Little Chaos' NEWS BY KEVIN JAGERNAUTH JANUARY 17, 2013 8:25 P (INDIEWIRE)

Persistence pays off it would seem. To date, celebrated actor Alan Rickman only has one feature film directing credit to his name, 1997's "The Winter Guest," and while we've yet to see a sophomore effort, it hasn't been for lack of trying. Rickman has had a couple of projects percolating over the years, but the one that he's stuck with has been "A Little Chaos." It looks like his determination has finally yielded some results, with two great actors on board and a start date in sight.

Baz Bamigboye reveals that Kate Winslet and "Rust & Bone" star Matthias Schoenaerts will topline the Rickman directed "A Little Chaos." Penned by Allison Deegan, the film will tell the unique story of rival landscapes gardeners who are both commissioned to create a fountain at Versailles by Louis XIV. Winslet and Schoenaerts will spar in the main roles, and Rickman has been busy scouting locations and revising the script in preparation for a spring shoot. It will be Winslet's second time up to bat with Rickman, co-starring with him in "Sense & Sensibility," while Schoenaerts adds the project to a very busy 2013 slate that also includes "Suite Francaise" with Michelle Williams. The guy sure knows how to pick his projects.
