Mickey Rourke's post-Oscar glory shows no signs of fading away. The formerly washed-up actor is getting cast all over the place, and now will have another starring role in Mona Lisa, a remake of the 1980s gangster movie about an ex-con who winds up as a chauffeur for a high-class escort.

According to Variety, Eva Green is in talks to play the escort, which must have a ton of fanboys thrilled at the idea of seeing her naked again. Perhaps the most interesting part of this story is that Larry Clark, the director of Kids, Ken Park, Bully and other depressing movies about teenagers, will be directing this one. Is he ready for a change of pace after terrifying a generation's worth of parents? Or just wanting to work with Mickey Rourke?

Filming begins in July in New York, which means another hilarious series of tabloid reports about Rourke's late-night activities. Bring it on!
