You’re trying? Now? Where were you when it mattered? I needed this guy back when I was a kid. I don’t need you now. It’s too late now. Everything’s already happened. You and Brendan don’t seem to understand that. Let me explain something to you: the only thing I have in common with Brendan Conlon is that we have absolutely no use for you.

Films I Enjoyed in 2011: Warrior
Best Surefire Crowd-Pleaser That Wasn’t: Warrior
This one’s failure to ignite with the great American male public is a mystery to all of us here at your favorite magazine. So just remember how Fight Club didn’t do boffo business either before turning cult classic. Starring Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton as a modern-day Cain and Abel—not to mention Nick Nolte as their dad, a grim fraud midway between Adam and God—director Gavin O’Connor’s mixed-martial-arts lollapalooza was The Deer Hunter divided by Rocky and multiplied by East of Eden.

![jellysoap:
The casino scene, in particular, is heartbreaking. Tell me about that and tell me about the scene that immediately follows it. They were shot very close together. We shot the one where Tom [Hardy] throws the coins at me in the casino first. I can tell you how the crew reacted: They got very nervous about it. I could feel them around me not wanting to watch that scene. We only needed a few takes because Tommy just really went at it. And it made people uncomfortable. It’s hard to watch that scene. I couldn’t watch it, you know. And then, you kind of revisit all those emotions when you see the film again, and it brought tears. And then the drunk scene upstairs, we didn’t say specifically what Tommy was going to do. He was just going to find me ranting and raving over Moby Dick. So we ad-libbed a lot of it. It was written, but we took off. It was Tommy’s decision to pull me up on top of the bed and hold me like that.

“Warrior” dvd deleted scene..!
Behind-the-scenes featurette from the Warrior DVD
Gavin O’Connor and Nick Nolte joking around (about the casting, not the story) at a Q&A for an awards season screening of Warrior:
‘The Secret Agenda I Kept From Lionsgate’
“I wanted one brother to die — to die at the hands of his brother — so he can be reborn,” O’Connor said. “It’s biblical, and it’s Greek.”
O’Connor provided a glance into the making of the movie — and into casting Hardy. He said that he knew he wanted Hardy for the part, but that Hardy told him he’s not good at auditioning.
The director told Hardy, “there’s no way I can get you in this movie without auditioning.”
So he suggested the actor come to his house, where they could rehearse the audition and make sure it worked out.
“He showed up on a Sunday night,” O’Connor said. “At midnight, there was a knock at my door … and he lived with me for five days. He did! He never left. And it was actually great because I got to know him.”
Nolte chortled. “Tom Hardy can audition,” he said. “Believe me, he can audition.”
Nolte said he played a similar trick on Paul Mazursky, his director in “Down and Out in Beverly Hills.” Mazursky visited the actor at his home, where Nolte insisted that the two read the script. Out loud.
“I wasn’t going to let him leave without saying, ‘You got the role,’” Nolte said.
“What are you saying?” O’Connor asked. “That I got conned by Tom Hardy?”
Lionsgate’s ad for Warrior and awards season. :D
