The Platz Thickens

Christopher Walken Johnny Hallyday and Javier Bardem are said to be on board the Tony Scott's action thriller Potsdamer Platz" says French newspaper Le Parisien via The Playlist.

The drama follows two soldiers in a New Jersey-based crime family who try to expand internationally. Though the title refers to the famed public square in central Berlin, the action will be shifted to Puerto Rico and the title will likely change with it.

Mickey Rourke has already been confirmed to be involved. Jason Statham was said to be circling the pic earlier this year while Scott was hoping to lure both Al Pacino and Gene Hackman for roles - no word if any of those three will be involved.

David Scinto and Louis Mellis ("Sexy Beast") have re-written a script by Buddy Giovinazzo and shooting kicks off in January in Puerto Rico.
