Our friend and photo freak Christopher M. dropped me a line this morning with the following picture attached. This is apparently our first look at Mickey Rourke in 13, the upcoming remake of the 2005 French thriller 13 Tzameti. Director Géla Babluani, who wrote and directed the original, is back to adapt and direct the American remake, which will star Rourke, Jason Statham, Ray Liotta, Ray Winstone and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. The film tells the story of “a naive young man who assumes a dead man’s identity and finds himself embroiled in an underground world of power, violence, and chance where men gamble behind closed doors on the lives of other men.”

13 is slated for release in 2010. Check out the first image of Mickey Rourke below.

  • Seriously - this is one of the only remakes I'm on board for, and they go ahead and cast 50 Cent. Not only is the guy not an actor, he can barely rap on beat. I'm guessing the casting directors ran short on time and knew they could find him in the club. At least he's accessible.

    Well if it has Curtis "50 Cent" Jackon, it HAS to be good.
