Continuing onward with the weighty subject of Tom Hardy’s body transformation for Bane, here’s how he looked at the Tinker Tailor premiere on Sept 14, 2011. TDKR filming was going on in Los Angeles at the time and Tom was probably at peak weight. You can actually see those mountain-size trapezii straining to burst out of his jacket. Since I like to keep things classy, I’ve included a shot of the glutei maximi, which appear to have the same aim as the traps. Yep, Bane’s suiting-up challenges were huge.

reprise: Tom and Benedict at the UK Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy premiere.
Wouldn’t it be great if BC got involved in the Everest film. One of the most interesting characters in George Mallory’s story is his brilliant alpha-male rival and Everest teammate George Finch. For an overview of the whole story, and to see why Mallory is a fantastic role for Tom, check out NatGeo’s special The Wildest Dream.
It was Mallory who, when asked “Why climb Everest?” gave the now-legendary answer, “Because it’s there.”

ISTANBUL - PORT AUTHORITY - DAY 121
P.O.V. - Crowds of people throng the busy port.
A paranoid Ricki watches from the back of the hall.
He notices a child react to something - follows his gaze - behind glass panels - a glimpse of three men wheeling a gurney - a bandaged figure upon it.
Just before the figure disappears, a hand moves a little…
Tarr watches Irina’s departure, sick with guilt.

Ricki Tarr, the poignant rogue who falls desperately and tragically in love.

Some rare-ish Tinker Tailor stills. I’ve been looking for hq versions of these — perhaps they’ve been posted somewhere by now. I really like this intense Ricki Tarr pushing back the curtain, and the body language in the photo with Irina.

Tom says there was such great chemistry and alchemy on set…
// from the cast interviews on the ”Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” BluRay/DVD, which hits this week.
![In an interesting interview with Daily Beast, Gary Oldman and Peter Straughan reveal more about that great scene Gary had with Tom (the one in which Tom said Gary rattled him). Here, Gary explains how he rattled Tom beforehand. xD
Ah, hero worship. Who wouldn’t be rather discombobulated?
Ricki Tarr Confesses He Screwed Up
Oldman: At this point Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) is hiding out and believes that they are after him and indeed they are. He really finds the safest place to be Smiley. He tells this extraordinary story about [another spy] Irina and what he has learned. The book starts with this story. It is the second chapter.
Straughan: We knew from the beginning that we had to move it deeper into the story [in the movie] because we had to introduce George Smiley. Didn’t you say, Gary, that when you were shooting this scene that you maintained a Smiley silence which was freaking Tom out?
Oldman: Yes, it discombobulated him.
Straughan: You stayed in character.
Oldman: You’ve got a great excuse when you are playing Smiley. I would get to the set, and I was ready and I would just sit and wait. There is no particular method of how you approach a role but you find one. It was a nice thing for me to get there and be ready. There was a set up in this scene and we had about 40 minutes of downtime. I stayed sitting in the chair. And Tom was just talking and talking and talking and I was just sitting there like a statue, without realizing it. Tomas was watching this and he said, “Do you know that you have not spoken for 45 minutes?” I just watched Tom burble on. That is one of the secrets of George and how he gets people to open up.
Straughan: Right, I was going to say, that is the energy of the scene where Smiley just sits there and waits and Tarr just unravels.
Oldman: All I say is, “What did you do then?”
Straughan: Smiley is almost like a priest. People confess their sins [to him]. Tom knows it is a terrible thing he did. He has betrayed Irina by saying too much in the message back to the Circus; he alerted the Russians to her.
Oldman: And of course, Smiley says, “Well, I understand. You wanted to do something.” But he is really thinking, “What an idiot.” He sees great potential there with Guillam. He has great respect for Control. He has an admiration for Haydon. And of course, he has great respect for Karla. But there are people along the way, like Tarr, who are flies.
Straughan: The audience connects more with Tarr because he is so human. He is sort of flailing around like the rest of us, trying to find a connection with someone.

I like hearing that cognac-and-cigars voice say “Michael Fassbender.”
(at around 3:05: “… was his first choice, I think.”)
