Guy Pearce has leapt on board the new thriller, Hungry Rabbit Jumps, which he’ll star in opposite Nicolas Cage and January Jones. Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) is set to direct the film, which sees Cage’s character getting caught up with a out of control underground vigilante organisation after his wife (Jones) is attacked.
There’s no news yet on what role Pearce will play, although it’s easy to imagine him playing somebody involved in the vigilante organisation.
Shooting is scheduled to begin in a few weeks time in New Orleans. However the thing we’re really curious about is whether the film can really make it all the way to cinemas with the title Hungry Rabbit Jumps intact. Surely somebody’s going to want to change that at some point? It’ll be interesting to see whether it suddenly gets a far more generic title sometime before its release.
