Chloë Sevigny, Rhys Ifans and David Thewlis are in final negotiations to star in writer-director Bernard Rose's "Mr. Nice" says The Hollywood Reporter.Based on Howard Marks' 2002 best-selling autobiography...
Ifans will play Britain's one-time most-wanted man, a late-'60s-era University of Oxford graduate and teacher who turned to drug smuggling to impress his future wife Judy (Sevigny).
While enlisting the help of an Irish Republican Army boss (Thewlis) for a job, he was recruited by a British intelligence officer for a loose network of informants.The charming criminal assumed the alias Mr. Nice.
After encounters with the Mafia and Central Intelligence Agency and nearly 30 tons of pot smuggling, he spent seven years in prison.
