_{Even assassins have their soft spots.}

Mickey Rourke has signed on for the feature adaptation of the book "The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer." David McKenna (American History X) is writing the script about Richard "The Ice Man" Kuklinksi, a professional assassin who doubled as a loving father and husband in New Jersey.

Hmmmm, sounds like Tony Soprano, does it not? But considering Kuklinksi isn’t Italian, this story will have less capicola and guys shouting, "OH EH! EH OH!" Or maybe it’s just Tony Danza that does that. Either way, Rourke is playing an assassin, and he’s a method actor, so if you start hearing stories of hookers being found with double-taps to the chest, don’t look at me. It was probably Rourke. NOT me. (Variety)
