It's been almost four months since we have had any news to report on
Rian Johnson's follow up to his critically acclaimed Indie debut
Brick. Back in October, the
news was that
Rachel Wesiz had signed up for the movie and today we have learned that she will be joined by the awesome
Adrien Brody. Brody will be playing the younger half of a conman team who ends up falling in love with their mysterious target.... an eccentric billionaire played by Rachel Wesiz. Japanese actress
Rinko Kikuchi who received an Best Supporting Actress nomination for
Babel has also signed up for the flick. She will be playing the brothers partner in crime who "
may be hiding secrets of her own". One more big casting decision still to come and that's the role of the older conman brother. I've only recently seen Brick and for a first time writer/director it was extremely impressive. It's obviously impressed Endgame Entertainment who have no doubt pulled out all the stops to get Weisz, Brody and Kikuchi to star in their independent film. source -
