LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Mickey Rourke will star in a remake of the 1986 gangster film, "Mona Lisa," Variety reported.
The "Wrestler" actor will play an ex-con who serves as chauffeur for a high-class escort, a role Eva Green is reportedly in talks for.

Mickey is currently filming "Iron Man 2" and has a number of other projects in the works, including Sylvester Stone's "The Expendables."
He became an awards season darling earlier this year after a long break from Hollywood thanks to his starring performance as Randy "The Ram" Robinson in "The Wrestler," a role that notched him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

Debbie BI love Mickey and I think that Joel(loser)nobody from "The Soup" will get his just deserve when Mickey gets ahold of him. He made jokes about Mickey's little dog "Loki" that died a few months back on his stupid show. I never watch the show and now I know why, but I bet he messed with the wrong guy this time.
