While breaking on the set of the Greek gods epic "Immortals", Mickey Rourke chatted with The Orlando Sentinel about his upcoming projects.
Rourke says Walter Hill's "St. Vincent" is "not gonna happen". Tony Scott's German crime thriller remake "Potsdamer Platz" however is happening, as is a potential Hells Angels flick. He also says there's a biopic of Mongol warlord Genghis Khan from writer/director John Milius (the original "Conan the Barbarian," "Red Dawn") on his plate
“I read his script and you know, the man is known for his tough writing. He wrote Conan and Dirty Harry and Apocalypse Now, and it’ll be interesting to see how he works behind the camera. John wrote as a piece told from the son and grandson’s point of view, how they saw this mythic figure from their family. You see him in flashbacks, back when he was in his mid-40s. And back then, being in your mid-40s was being REALLY old.”
“It’ll be a fascinating experience, maybe shooting in parts of India, they tell me, and China. I’ve never worked in either of those countries, so that’ll be new. Historically, if you read about the guy, he was a mystery. There’s a lot of myths surrounding him, but also some true stories. Milius went through that in prepping this, so he’ll be a fascinating character to play" says Rourke.
Meantime Rourke's in Iron Man 2 out May 7th and so the mania begins with New Iron Man 2 clips Including Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and is the studio already planning a Black Widow Spin-off?...
