The first image to emerge from the Mickey Rourke/Megan Fox film Passion Play is here, and it looks as if the two are dancing on the set of The Wizard of Oz in this one.
Megan Fox is a angel, trapped in a carnival sideshow while Rourke is a down and out trumpet player who saves Fox’s character from the oppressive hand of Happy Shannon, not the head clown in the circus, but a vicious gangster played by Bill Murray. Well, I was sold on Bill Murray but this looks to be a nicely low key tale of redemption and salvation (with Bill Murray).
This is Mitch Glazer’s first film behind the camera and there’s something about the duo of Rourke and Fox that clicks for me, so I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.
