Larry Clark is Remaking Neil Jordan's 'Mona Lisa'
added by newsBotThere's this little film made back in 1986 called Mona Lisa. Bob Hoskins starred as George, a man just out of prison who takes a job chauffeuring a high-price call girl named Simone (Cathy Tyson). As first, they're opposites who argue, but then they foster a friendship which leads him to help her out and get embroiled in a mess with the underworld. Michael Caine co-starred as an underworld boss, and Hoskins earned himself his only Oscar nomination.
23 years later, Production Weekly's Twitter feed reports that the film is getting a remake. Mickey Rourke will add another film to his ever-increasing roster and star alongside the radiant Eva Green. That should throw the whole relationship into another dynamic. Hoskins might be able to show the toughness, but he's no ex-wrestler and tough guy of Sin City. The big kicker, however, is the director. Larry Clark, helmer of Kids and Bully, will grab the directorial chair.

Larry Clark remaking Mona Lisa?
added by newsBotHaving been away from films for a couple of years, it looks like Kids/Ken Park/Wassup Rockers helmer Larry Clark is back – and with a remake of Neil Jordan’s 1986 drama Mona Lisa, to boot.

Mickey Rourke in Mona Lisa Remake
added by newsBotApparently tired of digging into forgotten (and some not so forgotten) ’80s horror dumpster, Hollywood producers have now turned their attention towards Britain’s dumpsters, and they’ve come up with 1986’s “Mona Smile”. The film originally starred Bob Hoskins and Cathy Tyson, and was directed by Neil Jordan of “Crying Game” fame. The remake will star Mickey Rourke in the Hoskins role, playing an ex-con who gets a job driving a high-priced call girl (Eva Green in the remake); the two eventually become friends and run afoul of a local kingpin. Variety says Larry Clark (of “Kids” and “Ken Park” infamy) will write and direct the remake, so you should probably expect more than a little skin from ex-Bond girl Eva Green or Larry Clark isn’t doing his job. Then again, it’s not like Green is new to nudity. Her first movie was “The Dreamers”, an Nc-17 affair.
