Mickey Rourke in talks for 'Horses'


January 30, 2009 Indian writer-director Vidhu Vinod Chopra is in talks with Oscar nominee Mickey Rourke to star in Chopra's Hollywood debut, the gangster caper "Broken Horses," the director said Friday. It's being turned into a screenplay by Indian writer Abhijat Joshi and script consultant Jason Richman ("Bangkok Dangerous"). Chopra, who like Rourke is repped by ICM, said that he met the actor in Los Angeles after a special screening of "The Wrestler," the film that earned Rourke an Oscar nomination as well as the best actor prize at last month's Golden Globes.
