I’ve always been a fan of both Colin Farrell and Eric Bana. So when I saw this news, I immediately got excited. Apparently both are in negotiations to make this film together. I think, if they make it happen, this could be awesome.
Deadline is reporting that Farrell and Eric Bana are currently in negotiations to star in the film, which will be directed by Up In The Air co-writer Sheldon Turner. While details about the project are slim, Farrell and Bana would play two friends and co-workers who become enemies after one betrays the other. While both of the actors are interested in the film, their representatives have been unhappy with the salaries that have been offered so far.
I’m really diggin’ the setup. The premise, combined with these two great actors, has really big potential in my book. If made, I’m watching this for sure. While we are in the subject, I want to take some lines and talk about Farrell’s little acting comeback. I’m really proud of what his done. After cleaning his act up and hitting it big in In Bruges, he’s back on the right track. I appreciate when people deal with the consequences of their mistakes, suck it up, and then try to get back on their feet (Specially in a place like Hollywood). So, Mr. Farrell, I salute you.
You guys want to see Farrell and Bana fight it out in film?
YES. Two intense, semi-serious actors in a film by Sheldon Turner? I’m in.
