In addition to the standard Blu-ray release, there’s also a steelbook edition available, which looks impressive.
It’s not the first big screen release focusing on the two London gangsters, with the last outing being the 1990 movie The Krays, which had the Kemp brothers doing the honours as the criminal brothers.ĭVD, Blu-ray and digital download: The film made it’s way to DVD, Blu-ray and digital download in the UK in early 2016 with a release date of the 25th January 2016, and it will be distributed for home entertainment in the United States on the 1st March 2016. Release dateĬinema: Legend had a UK release date of the 11th September 2015, but cinema goers on the US side of the pond had to wait until the 2nd October too see the film with a limited cinema release.
Along with their gang, known as the Firm, they had their hands in everything from armed robbery and protection rackets to arson, assault, and murder, so it’s not surprising that the story of their rise and fall is still drawing in audiences nearly fifty years after their incarceration. The infamous mobsters spearheaded organised crime in the East End of London from the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s until their life prison sentence was handed to them in 1969. Having already played Charlie Bronson, followed by an epic portrayal of Bane in Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, he’s picked up a reputation for playing some pretty dark characters, but the latest will see him taking on two of the most notorious gangsters in British history as he portrays both Ronnie and Reggie Kray in the film.
Tom Hardy got his grit-flecked teeth into yet another British crime biopic in Legend (2015), the latest adaptation of the life and times of the Kray twins.
