Here's our first look at Saoirse Ronan and Alexis Bledel from 'Precious' scribe Geoffrey Fletcher's currently-in-production teenage assassin flick "Violet & Daisy."
Also featured in the picture is Danny Trejo, in what seemingly serves as the first unveiling of the "Machete" actor as a cast member for this particular pic. James Gandolfini was previously revealed as a cast member for the self-described "Thelma & Louise" meets "Superbad" meets "Pulp Fiction" story of two teenage assassins who discover that their last job is not exactly what they expected.
Ronan and Bledel obviously play the leading duo with their 13 year age difference barely noticable, for the most part, on account of the age-defying Bledel. Shooting is taking place in and around New York with Fletcher, Bonnie Timmermann, John Penotti of Magic Violet/GreeneStreet Films and Steve Kempf producing.
Alexis Bledel is set to join Saoirse Ronan and James Gandolfini in Geoffrey Fletcher's directorial debut, the teenage assassin flick, "Violet and Daisy."
A recent co-star in Robert Redford's upcoming period court-room drama "The Conspirator," the ever-youthful 29 year old essentially replaces Carey Mulligan, who was originally attached to star alongside Ronan but has Nicolas Winding Refn's "Drive" shooting at the same time as well as Sam Mendes' adaptation of Ian McEwan's "On Chesil Beach" which was delayed earlier this summer.
After taking home the Best Adapted Screenplay at last year's Oscars for "Precious," Fletcher will be directing from his own script, originally pegged as a cross between "Thelma And Louise," "Superbad" and "Pulp Fiction." Story centers on a pair of teenage assassins (Ronan, Bledel) who are lured into what is supposed to be just another quick and easy job, only to find complications as the man they're supposed to kill (presumably Gandolfini) is not what they expected. Certainly sounds like a potentially entertaining pic but; how will it fare with similarly themed stories preceding it such as the Hit-Girl heavy "Kick-Ass" and Joe Wright's similary themed Ronan-starrer "Hanna"?
Production begins next week in New York with Fletcher, Bonnie Timmermann, John Penotti of Magic Violet/GreeneStreet Films and Steve Kempf producing.
