Mickey Rourke is set to star in the remake of Mona Lisa, a 1986 gangster flick originally directed by Neil Jordan.
Rourke will take on the role of George, formerly played by Bob Hoskins, a gangster who is released from prison only to find that his standing among his colleagues has now diminished to such an extent that he has to work for a call girl named Simone.
Bond girl Eva Green is said to be in talks to take on the role of Simone.

New Line has recruited a veritable who’s who of Hollywood to star in the Garry Marshall-directed rom-com Valentine’s Day.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Marshall will reteam with his erstwhile Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts, along with an ensemble that includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Bradley Cooper, Ashton Kutcher and Shirley MacLaine.
The film will follow five overlapping stories and all take place on Hallmark’s Cupid’s holiday in Los Angeles.
Some of the storylines already penciled in for the big-screen bonanza: Roberts plays an Army officer on leave from Iraq who strikes up a conversation with Cooper, whose boyfriend is a closeted football player; Kutcher owns a flower shop and plans on proposing to girlfriend Alba, only to discover he’s in love with best pal Garner; Hathaway is an agent’s assistant who’s dating the mail boy; and Biel tries her hand as an unlucky-in-love publicist.
Universal is resurrecting the 1991 movie Drop Dead Fred as a starring vehicle for Russell Brand, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Dennis McNicholas, a cowriter on the production company’s upcoming Land of the Lost, will write the script based on the original, which starred Phoebe Cates as a woman who loses her job and her husband only to find her world further rocked by the appearance of a rambunctious imaginary friend from her childhood (whom Brand will play in the remake). The first Fred was a flop, but achieved some cult-level success.
It’s Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio’s fourth film together,which officially makes them Hollywood’s hottest couple after Brad ‘n’ Angie. But Shutter Island is not just exciting because of that; it’s also shaping up to be something of a stylistic shift for Scorsese. And here’s a shot of Scorsese directing DiCaprio (as Teddy Daniels) and Michelle Williams as his wife.
Co-star Mark Ruffalo, who plays a US marshal alongside DiCaprio, said, “This could be one of [Scorsese's] great films. He gets to do everything he loves about film: noir, dream sequences, suspense, tough urban stuff. It’s absolute madness, twist upon twist.”
Scorsese himself has likened the film to Orson Welles‘ take on Kafka’s The Trial, or Hitchcock at his weirdest, which sounds pretty darn promising to us. The film’s out on October 9 in the UK and October 2 in the US. Next year’s Oscar race starts here.

“They were talking about the script they’re working on and how exciting this is for them,” an eyewitness tells Star.

The new Sex and the City movie will see Samantha Jones struggle for money.
In the highly-anticipated sequel which will be released in May 2010 PR guru Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall, will struggle to curb her lavish lifestyle.
A source told MSNBC: The proposed story line for Samantha will be her having to downsize her big-spending life after some of her investments get wiped out.
You will see her having to survive on a more modest budget but still staying true to her fabulous taste.
It was recently reported Samantha won’t be the only one to lose money.
The movie’s main character Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, will move to London with her husband Mr. Big after his business in New York starts to suffer.
A source said: “The sequel will include key scenes of Carrie and Big in London, possibly shooting this winter for six weeks.
“Big loses a lot of money and takes a job in London, living alone in a one-bedroom apartment. Big gets really low and ends up in bed with another woman. After she leaves him Carrie discovers she is pregnant.”
However, the storyline may have to be scrapped after it was revealed Chris Noth, who plays Big, is the only member from the first movie not to have signed on to reprise his role.
The first Sex and the City film was released on May 30 2008 and raked in $412 million worldwide.
