‘London Road’ to Get US Release, Features Tom Hardy in 1 Scene

Rights to musical thriller acquired by BBC Worldwide North America

Tom Hardy in London Road

The musical thriller “London Road,” featuring Tom Hardy in a single seen as a singing cabbie, will be distributed by BBC Worldwide North America.

The BBC film unit acquired the U.S. rights to the film, which traces the 2006 discovery of five dead women in the sleepy rural town of Ipswich. A fall theatrical release is planned, though it’s unclear how BBC will handle distribution.

Based on true events, and on the musical of the same name, the film was directed by Rufus Norris and written by Adam Cork and Alecky Blythe.

While marketing materials and some media reports would have audiences believe this is a Tom Hardy movie, he only appears in a single scene.
