On recent press tour for Iron Man 2, Mickey Rourke has got people talking, and not just about his upcoming movie.
First, Mickey confessed that he was less than impressed with one of his recent co-stars. He told MovieHole.net, “I worked with an actress recently who, despite having a reputation as a good actress, s**ts herself when that little red light comes on. She’s fooled everyone into thinking she’s a lot better than she is. Working with someone like that is a pain in the a**.”
But, before you start going through the roster of Rourke’s recent co-stars, you can rule out Megan Fox, who he recently worked with on Passion Play. He explains, “It was a lot of fun. (Fox) was great to work with… I mean, look at her! And it was also great to work with someone who may be beautiful and good-looking but also knows how to do her homework. I think people will have a different perspective of her (after this film). It was great to work with someone like Megan.”
Mickey’s other recent co-stars include Scarlett Johansson, Olivia Munn and Gwyneth Paltrow (Iron Man 2), Isabel Lucas and Freida Pinto (Immortals), Emmanuelle Chriqui, Winona Ryder and Amber Heard (Informers).
But that wasn’t the only insight Mickey had to share. He’s also been spilling tidbits here and there about his current project, The Immortals, currently filming in Montreal. Last week, during a stop at The Tonight Show, Rourke told Jay Leno that he was heading to back to Montreal to continue filming over the weekend.
He also discussed the project’s title change with the Orlando Sentinal, saying, “Yeah, that’s what they’re calling it now (It was called War of Gods, or War of the Gods).” Though they point out, Mickey still didn’t have the name right and was calling it The Disciples throughout the interview.
So far, Mickey has been spotted filming scenes for Immortals in Old Montreal, while his co-star Frieda Pinto (who is skipping the Cannes Film Fest to finish the movie in Montreal) has also been seen around town.
Though we haven’t heard of any Kellan Lutz sightings, he also stars in the movie as Poseidon, making this the third film currently in production that Kellan is attached to. He also has a leading role in Love, Wedding, Marriage, filming in New Orleans and Deathgames, which recently went into production in Baton Rouge.
If you see Mickey, Kellan or the rest of the cast filming Immortals in Montreal, let is know at olv@onlocationvacations.com.
Great for mickey! After being blacklisted by the know-nothing hollywood big wigs….Mickeys not wasting this chance. After Ironman 2, he filmed “The Expendables” with stallone…Then “Passion Plays” with megan fox, and now “The Immortals”
Not to mention a documentary called “Mentoring Mickey”…and a movie called “13” with Jason statham..which is to come out anytime soon!
Go Mickey!
Love Mickey Rourke. Can’t wait for “Passion Play” – but do you know when “13” is coming out? I’ve been waiting for it. The original French film , “13 Tzameti”, was a really great film. The new english one has a great cast and, very importantly, the original writer/director – Gela Babulani, si I know he’ll do it justice.
