Vincent Cassel joins Cronenberg's "Promises"

By Matt Holmes /

Vincent Cassel has signed on to appear alongside Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen in David Cronenberg's thriller Eastern Promises. More info from Coming Soon... "Written by Steve Knight (Dirty Pretty Things), the London-based thriller centers on a nurse (Naomi Watts) investigating the identity of a young Russian prostitute who dies in childbirth. She unwittingly stumbles into a Russian police operation that seeks to expose a major Russian Mafia prostitution ring". I've been a big admirer of Vincet Cassel ever since I saw him in the awesome movie Brotherhood of the Wolf. He played a great villain too in Ocean's Twelve. The talent in this movie is enough to get me into the cinema whatever the subject. This is shaping up to be one to look out for next year. source - hollywood reporter,coming soon
