True Blood’s Anna Paquin and Thor’s Tom Hiddleston are both pretty hot right now, and according to ScreenDaily they’ve now signed up for the noir drama Black Wings Has My Angel for producer/star Elijah Wood and director Alfonso Pineda Ulloa.
The story is based on Elliott Chaze’s 1953 pulp novel about an ex-con who stages an elaborate armored car robbery with the help of a Mississippi call girl. Elijah Wood will also star in the drama, although it isn’t known what roles any of the actors are playing.
While not as famous as the likes of James M. Cain, Ellott Chaze is very well regarded by lovers of pulp novels and this will be one of the few time one of his tales will make it to the big screen. Shooting is scheduled to begin in September.
