Today In Comic Book Movie Casting News

Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 1:25 PM

I'm already dying to see this movie and it just got cast: According to Bleeding Cool, the cast of a movie version of a gangster comic book called Pretty Baby Machine has just been announced. Pretty Baby Machine is about Pretty Boy Floyd, Babyface Nelson, and Machine Gun Kelly joining forces to take down Al Capone.

Apparently, Jason Statham has been cast as Floyd, Mickey Rourke as Nelson, Gary Oldman as Kelly and Ian McShane as Capone. This will perhaps be the greatest ensemble man-movie since this wonder of the world sprang, fully formed, from the forehead of Simon West back in 97:

Mickey Rourke as Nelson?

I thought Nelson received his nickname for looking like, I don't know... the complete opposite of Mickey Rourke?

Still... that's a lot of testosterone on one screen. This could trigger early-onset puberty in young boys.

This film sounds potent enough to make every woman in the audience pregnant. looks like their trying to top Stallone's upcoming "The Expendables" in the extreme manliness dept.

Hopefully Jason Statham will be able to live up to his previous work in Dungeon Siege: In the Name of the King.
