^{Hells Angels founding member Sonny Barger OR Mickey Rourke circa 1994?}

In addition to Potsdamer Platz, Mickey Rourke is circling another Tony Scott project, and he’s circling this one menacingly on a motorcycle while yelling hate speech. Typical Mickey.

Rourke is up for the role of the outlaw Sonny Barger in Hells Angels, a script that Scott has been developing for ten years. Now, Scott Frank has been brought in to rework the script that tells the story of a young cop who infiltrates the nefarious gang. This is spot-on casting. I can’t think of a single actor more appropriate than Mickey Rourke for the grizzled Hells Angels founder. You could have a motorcycle growing out of your ass, and Mickey Rourke would still be more appropriate for the role. (Deadline)
