Director Lone Scherfig caught our attention and won our hearts with last year's "An Education," so news that she might next be directing Jessica Biel in a film about a mob mistress certainly made us interested. According to Pajiba, Jessica is set to star and produce the upcoming "Mob Girl," and Lone is attached to direct it. The project is waiting for writers to pick up the script. The plot follows the true story of Arlyne Brickman, who worked for (and was raped and abused by) the mafia for more than 30 years. She worked her way up from running errands and carrying packages to loansharking and drug dealing, but ended up becoming a government informant and witness who helped put away big time mob man Anthony Scarpati. The film seems to be based on the Teresa Carpenter book of the same name. |
