Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a bit of casting news on Rian Johnson's follow-up to his fantastic debut feature BRICK. The flick is called THE BROTHERS BLOOM and I just got my hands on the most recent draft. I read through it and very little has changed from the already fantastic first draft.

The flick is about a pair of con artist brothers... genius' really. They have intricate plans, mindblowingly intricate, yet not out of this world. One is very satisfied with the life they've led and one feels something is lacking. This is their story and going through the script I was floored by how well Johnson balanced out the heist aspect, hiding certain threads and revealing them at just the right time.

Already cast is the delectable Rachel Weisz as Penelope, super rich heiress target for the current plot by the brothers.

Joining her are Adrien Brody as Bloom, the younger troubled brother, and Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) as a mysterious and silent partner in the brothers' efforts.

The cast is coming together wonderfully and I can't wait to see this script made. It's great, a total throw-back to the wonderful '70s fun heist flicks. This is good news.
