Afterward, Hammer reportedly told director George Miller that Hardy needed to be Max more than he did.
“Near the end of the process, Hardy emerged as a front-runner alongside Jeremy Renner and Armie Hammer. Hardy and Hammer even read together as part of their audition, and when Hardy gnashed his teeth and spat at his scene partner, Hammer told [director George Miller] that Hardy needed to be Max more than he did,” the journalist penned.
Todd Matthew Grossman, a cameraman who was in the audition room at the time, told Buchanan for his book, “Jeremy and Armie were equally wonderful, but there was something about Tom in the room where it felt like that was Max, without a doubt.” “[Hardy] had that kind of suppressed emotional dryness that you’d find in a post-apocalypse and, buried underneath it, disdain for the world. There was this intensity that burned through the lens,” Grossman added.Audition cameraman Todd Matthew Grossman said of Hardy : “He had that kind of suppressed emotional dryness that you’d find in a post-apocalypse and, buried underneath it, disdain for the world.
Casting director Ronna Kress also gave some insight into the action flick, explaining that she spoke with the Australian filmmaker about the “Inception” star’s performance. “After Tom auditioned, George and I went into another room, and we had a long moment of quiet with each other,” she revealed. “Then I said to George, ‘Is this the person that you can spend nine months in the desert with, telling this story? Is this the person that’s right for you?'”Warner Bros. Pictures/courtesy Everett Collection
