The other day, reports came that Tom Hardy had apparently been fired from Guy Ritchie’s British crime series “MobLand”.
That series aired its first season last year, and a second season has already been produced but has not yet aired.
The claims were that Hardy had been dismissed ahead of the show’s third season being given the go-ahead – a writers’ room has currently been assembled ahead of a potential green light and filming in September.
One trade, The Hollywood Reporter, pushed back on the report. They said a decision about Hardy’s fate hadn’t been made yet. Now, the same trade has offered new details.
According to their source, Hardy “refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time… he kept the cast waiting, [which is] a power play. Keeping Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and others waiting is career suicide, I would wager.”
The trade also confirmed he’d been clashing with executive producer Jez Butterworth and others at David Glasser’s 101 Studios.
Filmmaker George Miller famously said a similar thing about Hardy filming on “Mad Max: Fury Road” – telling The Telegraph that “he had to be coaxed out of his trailer”.
The show is one of three Ritchie-produced series on the air alongside Amazon’s “Young Sherlock” and Netflix’s “The Gentlemen”.
