Olivia Colman & Tom Hardy Once Starred in a Musical Murder Mystery
If it sounds bonkers, it’s because it is. Olivia Colman and Tom Hardy once starred in a musical murder mystery drama. London Road is a 2015 film based on a musical play of the same name. The play uses the case of serial killer Steve Wright and his five victims as a backdrop for its main story — about how the crimes affected this little community, putting Ipswich on the map.
At one point, from her high moral ground, she says she’d thank the killer for getting rid of the women. She feels sorry for their families, yes, but not for the victims themselves. Now imagine this with a melody and with Colman’s range . Contrary to other crime-related roles where she evokes empathy, this is a film where you absolutely won’t root for her, and that’s how good Colman is in it.
While having a customer in his cab, he starts singing what appears to be a melodic confession. After he gives the killer’s description , he casually comments how he’s always been interested in serial killers and their motivations — all this while fixing his glance towards women on the road. He sings his song while "Silent Night" plays on the radio . Through his vocal performance, Hardy’s jumpy everyman cajoles the audience into also suspecting him.
On the flip side, the killings give the neighbors a reason to interact, since they don’t really know each other. Trying to change things the best way they can, they focus on changing things on a superficial level. They tidy up their gardens, they repaint walls, and clean the street. The climax of the movie takes place when they organize a big event for a gardening competition. It is then when the movie’s filter finishes its slow transformation and the neighborhood turns into a cheerful place.
