Rumors, scoops and overall hulabaloo is keeping lips sealed in Hollywood as I was part of the team of journalists that interviewed Zodiac star Mark Ruffalo this past weekend and he didn’t say a word about anything on the horizon and today we learn from Variety that he has signed on to star in The Brothers Bloom.
Ruffalo will star alongside Adrien Brody, Rinko Kikuchi and Rachel Weisz in the pic to be directed by Brick helmer Rian Johnson.
In the film Ruffalo will portray the older brother in a conman team with Brody, the younger brother in a veteran team of con men who falls for a mysterious millionaire (Weisz) who turns the tables on them as they take on one last job after Brody threatens to quit the family business. Kikuchi, who’s Oscar-nominated for her role in Babel, will play the brothers’ partner in crime who may be hiding secrets of her own.
Production begins next month.
