It’s early on a very wet March morning, the setting an empty independent cinema just off Leicester Square in London’s West End. The Hollywood News is here with filmmaker Richard John Taylor who, with some of his cast and crew, is putting together the final shots for his new film The Krays: Dead Man Walking. The film boasts an impressive British cast, including Rita Simons, Josh Myers, Guy Henry, Marc Pickering, Nathanjohn Carter, Janine Nerissa, Triana Terry, Christopher Ellison, Leslie Grantham, and many others.The plot of the piece isn’t just another rehash of the same old ‘Krays’ story, as Taylor tells us over a coffee in the bar area of the cinema, just prior to filming.
“It’s the Krays, but a gritty, more realistic version,” Taylor says. “It’s not their traditional life story you’ve seen twice before with Tom Hardy [in Legend] and the Kemps [in the 1990 biopic The Krays].”Related: The Krays: Dead Man Walking gets a debut posterThe performances from Tom Hardy and Martin and Gary Kemp in those two movies are a lot to live up to. So, who has Taylor and co. got lined up to play the twins in the new film?“Marc Pickering [plays Reggie], who has been in Boardwalk Empire, and Nathanjohn Carter plays Ron,” Taylor says.
“When we were going through all the Spotlight submissions, he just stood out. All the people we knew who knew The Krays said that [Carter] was the closest to an on-screen Ronnie Kray they’ve ever seen. I don’t know if that’s a compliment to him or not.”‘Dead Man Walking’ focusses upon a very specific time in Ronnie and Reggie Kray’s life.
