Indian writer/director Vidhu Vinod Chopra is in talks with Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke to star in Chopra’s Hollywood debut, the gangster caper Broken Horses.
Co-produced by Mumbai-based Reliance Big Pictures, “Horses” plans to shoot in New Mexico and New York.
Mark Johnson (“The Chronicles of Narnia” films) will executive produce the film, which is based on an original story by Chopra. It’s being turned into a screenplay by Indian writer Abhijat Joshi and script consultant Jason Richman (Bangkok Dangerous).
