Knight is also working on the upcoming Lisbeth Salander film sequel The Girl in the Spider’s Web and co-created the FX TV mini-series Taboo with Tom Hardy – who previously starred in Knight’s acclaimed 2013 one man show (or, rather, one man driving a car movie) Locke – as well as the latter’s father, Chips Hardy.
Hardy similarly appears to be in tip-top acting form in Taboo, delivering an intense and fittingly strange performance as the disturbed (?) James Delaney.
Taboo stars Tom Hardy as James Keziah Delaney, a man who mysteriously returns from Africa to London circa 1814 to inherit his father’s shipping empire, having long been presumed dead.
That is also the case with three additional thirty-second promos for Taboo that FX has now released online, under the titles ‘Dear James’, ‘Evil’ and ‘The Prestige’.
