Seriously Urban Outfitters shoppers, hasn’t this whole ’80s trend run its course? Also, if you remake an ’80s movie that no one remembers with an ’80s movie star who’s recently had a major come back, do the two cancel each other out? Seems Larry Clark is gonna hop in the director’s chair and find out by helming the remake of Neil Jordan’s 1980s Brit gangster pic “Mona Lisa,” the other ’80s movie about a hooker with a heart of gold (er, but this one garnered its star an Oscar nomination and co-starred Michael Caine as an underworld boss). The original had that sort of Showtime softcore porn feel, but with Clark behind the camera, should we expect something grittier, more dangerous and with frightening penetration shots? Magic 8 ball says “pretty effing likely.”
Mickey Rourke is the ’80s come back kid who’ll slide into the film in a role not yet disclosed alongside Eva Green (“Casino Royale”) as the hooker in question. [Cinematical]
