The story follows a man recently released from prison for murder who wants to lead a good life and marry his longtime girlfriend. Then, some jerk gamblers go off and kill his brother so he has to put his murdering pants back on to exact revenge. The script is said to have a No Country For Old Men vibe, but it sounds more like Con-Air to me. Hey Scott Cooper. Since you’re rewriting this story anyway, would you mind turning it into the Con-Air sequel? The world needs this. (Deadline)

Jennifer Lawrence is having a great year. After breaking out in Winter’s Bone, she quickly lined up roles in The Beaver and X-Men: First Class. Now she has her sights set on a role in Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper’s Lie Down In Darkness.

"I am obsessed with that part. I have this feeling of protectiveness over characters I want to play. I worry about them — if someone else gets the part, I’m afraid they won’t do it right."

The former star of "The Bill Engvall Show" goes on to say:

"I’m trying to write the director of ‘Lie Down in Darkness’ a letter to convince him that I should be in his movie. I’ll chase him if I have to. I’ll sit outside his house." She laughed. "I’m beside myself over that script. When I get like that, anything’s possible."

Ruh-roh. Looks like we’ve got another Sean Young on our hands. I’ve already called the police. (W Magazine)
