James Gandolfini will star in Joey One-Way, based on Joel Rose's crime novel "Kill Kill Faster Faster," reports Production Weekly. Gareth Roberts directs the film that's scheduled to begin shooting in Dublin, Ireland for six weeks in late spring. Robert Carlyle and Rosario Dawson are also in talks to join the project.
After spending more than seventeen years in prison, Joey One-Way (Gandolfini) believed that there was only one way he was getting out, and that was in a box. But that's now exactly how it plays. While serving time, Joey wrote a jailhouse drama that became a Broadway sensation.
Now, big-time producer Markie Mann is staking his reputation to spring and back Joey, counting on him to turn his scripts into Hollywood gold. Joey wants nothing more than to do right by Markie. So it's too bad that he falls so hard for Markie's young wife, Fleur. Now Joey is heading for trouble at high velocity.
-------------------------------------
Sounds kinda like an Elmore Leonard storyline.
