GORGEOUS TRAILER FOR CHOW YUN FAT'S EPIC "THE ASSASSINS"! ADRIEN BRODY, GERARD BUTLER, MICKEY ROURKE IN "MOTOR CITY"! JASON MOMOA JOINS "WOLVES", JAIME PRESSLY & ROBIN THICKE IN "ABBY IN THE SUMMER"

According to "Variety" Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody is in negotiations to replace Gary Oldman in MOTOR CITY. Adrien will play a villain in the story in which Gerard Butler plays an ex-con who starts tracking down the men who framed him and sent him to prison, almost immediately after his release. The cast also includes Amber Heard (mostly famous for her love for her own sex and for her fling with Johnny Depp) and Mickey Rourke. Wonder if Adrien will stay in the project, since the producers already had Jake Gyllenhaal and Dominic Cooper leave the cast.
