STUDIOCANAL has released a fabulous new poster entitled ‘London Skyline’ for the highly anticipated movie LEGEND.
Tom Hardy is on double duty in this one playing both Ronald and Reginald Kray. The film follows the real-life story of the two brothers operating an organised crime ring in London in the swinging sixties.
Helmed by Oscar-winning LA CONFIDENTIAL director Brian Helgeland, the film gives a chilling insight into the relationship between the twins, who were both sentences until life imprisonment.
Emily Browning plays Reggie’s East End wife Frances Shea, who comes between the two brothers’ criminal empire when Ronnie realises she knows too much about their illicit dealings.
The Krays were notorious gangsters known for their dealings in armed robberies, arson, assaults and the murders of fellow criminals Jack “The Hat” McVitie and George Cornell in the Sixties.
Not only were they known for occupying their time with illegal activities, but the identical twins were West End nightclub owners.
Their power reign halted in 1968 when both Ronnie and Reggie Kray were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment in 1969. Ronnie, who is thought to have suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, remained in Broadmoor Hospital until his death in 1995. Reggie was released from prison in August 2000, eight weeks before dying from cancer.
This film has certainly be grabbing lots of attention and just from the trailer alone, it is not hard to see why.

LEGEND will be released in UK cinemas on Wednesday 9th September 2015
