Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham have joined Control star Sam Riley and 50 Cent in the remake of French action flick, 13 Tzameti; which will, unsurprisingly, be retitled 13. Gela Babluani will write and direct an Americanised version of his own film, that seemed ripe for a bigger budget upon its initial, cult release. Rourke has been getting stunning reviews for his turn in festival favourite The Wrestler, and many predict an Oscar Nomination, at the very least, is a given for the slightly funny looking tough guy. Statham knows this genre like the back of his hand, and could do this is his sleep - which is basically what he did for the dire Death Race. Let's just hope his learnt his Uwe Boll lesson and wont be going back there.
