More Mickey Rourke

Mickey Rourke continues to pick up more roles. The Best Actor Academy Award nominee will star in Occupant Films and Secret Handshake Entertainment's St. Vincent. Rourke will play a hit man who returns to New York in order to finish a botched job. He parades around the city as a priest and ends up listening to the confession of the man he is supposed to kill.

Walter Hill, who directed Rourke during the heyday of the actor's career in 1989's Johnny Handsome, will helm the film, which is based on an original script. The film is schedule to begin production later this year.
