Bill Murray Joins Megan Fox in “Passion Play” Thriller
| January 16th, 2010 |
Production Weekly is reporting that Bill Murray has replaced Toby Kebbell (RocknRolla) as murderous mobster Happy Shannon in “Passion Play” thriller, which also stars Mickey Rourke and Megan Fox.
The movie takes place in 1950s Los Angeles and revolves around an angel (Fox) under the thumb of a ruthless gangster, who is saved by a trumpet player (Rourke) down on his luck.
“There is a love story there, it’s clearly not going to be a typical one,” Fox previously said of the story. “My character is basically a circus freak, she lives in a cage and she has wings. She’s not an angel, but she has these giant wings that grow out of her back. She’s a freak and she’s on display.”
The new movie, which is now filming in New Mexico, is written and directed by Mitch Glazer who is making his helming debut. Glazer previously provided scripts for such films as “Scrooged” “Great Expectations” and “The Recruit.”
