The company also managed to make use of the burgeoning stardom of Tom Hardy, who Spearing notes is often reluctant to do much press or social media but in the case of Legend was very engaged. вЂњIt was our most successful and engaged campaign to date,вЂќ recalled Spearing. In particular, the social media campaign for Legend proved highly successful. вЂњThat meant we knew there was interestвЂќ recalled Spearing.ДЄs a result of the buzz generated, he said the company felt confident utilising вЂњa big budget across all types of mediaвЂќ. The next step was releasing an initial teaser trailer for the film, which quickly became StudiocanalвЂ™s biggest trailer ever in terms of online interest. In the first week of production, the company released a still of Tom Hardy in character as both Ronald and Reggie Kray even though the image wasnвЂ™t a part of the actual film, it proved very popular, particularly online, and is still used to promote the film today. The company took the project to Cannes, showing rehearsal footage of Tom Hardy in character at the festival, an approach Spearing described as highly successful: вЂњIt sold incredibly well before it even started shooting.вЂќ вЂњThe reason we got involved in the film was the central idea of Tom Hardy, who was becoming an iconic British actor, playing both of the Kray twins, iconic figures themselves,вЂќ said Spearing. When approaching Legend, Hugh Spearing and Studiocanal believed from the start that they had the concept for a hit. The session was chaired by Paul De Carvalho of 3 Mills Studios. Jon Rushton, head of theatrical distribution at Curzon Artificial Eye, discussed 45 Years, which became the biggest ever day-and-date release in the UK when it crossed ВЈ1m, before going on to gross ВЈ1.8m theatrically.Д¬harlie Lyne, the director of micro-budget Beyond Clueless, talked the audience through making and marketing his essay film about teen movies, which took ВЈ35,000 from a limited release and sold to Netflix for a two year spell. The film opened to ВЈ5.1m over 5-days and went on to take ВЈ18.2m in the UK, the companyвЂ™s second highest-grossing film behind Paddington. Hugh Spearing, head of marketing at Studiocanal, presented Legend, which stars Tom Hardy as the East EndвЂ™s notorious gangster twins Ronald and Reggie Kray.
