“Smokin’ Aces” and “Kinky Boots” star as a killer
Aussie superstar Joel Edgerton (International audiences probably know him from either “Kinky Boots” or “Smokin’ Aces”) is set to play a ‘killer’ in the new local thriller, “Acolytes”, says News.com.au.
The film – about three teens trying to blackmail a murderer– is still in the development stages, but production company spokesman Richard Stewart revealed to the aforementioned site that they were relieved to already have Edgerton on board.
“We really wanted Joel because he’s extremely talented and versatile,” Stewart said this week.
I believe this is the film that Shayne Armstrong, Shane Krause & Jon Hewitt wrote – with Hewitt set to direct. Believe Palace and Arclight have the rights.
Edgerton’s also in line to play a role in Fred Schepsi’s new Vietnam war film, “Last Man”, I hear. I believe they’re after Edgerton, Guy Pearce and Sam Worthington to play the leads.
