When it comes to the first photos and synopsis from upcoming films, Collider has reaped great rewards from this year’s American Film Market (Afm).

Simply put, this is where a lot of money changes hands in the film industry and it’s where many decisions about what you and I get to see are made. In an effort to try and raise a film’s profile or attract film buyers, many of the studios distribute full synopses and still images for their movies.
With that in mind, we have grabbed some of those synopses and images for Manolete (starring Adrien Brody and Penelope Cruz), Mona Lisa, Pearblossom, Small Town Saturday Night (starring Chris Pine), and The Long Good Friday. Hit the

Mickey Rourke has signed on to star in a remake of classic 1980s British gangster film Mona Lisa, report the trades. Larry Clark (Kids, Wassup Rockers) is writing and directing the remake, which is being produced by Handmade Films.
Bob Hopkins starred in the original as George, an ex-con who begins looking for a job, but realizes his time in prison has reduced his stature in the criminal underworld. The only job he can find is to be a driver for Simone (Cathy Tyson), a beautiful high-priced call girl. Only Simone's playing a dangerous game, and when George agrees to help her, they both end up in a huge amount of trouble with Mortwell (Michael Caine), the local kingpin.
Rourke, who’s currently filming Iron Man 2, will play the Hopkins character with Eva Green in talks to play the call girl. Green previously starred in Kingdom of Heaven, Casino Royale and The Golden Compass.

Written by Matt Goldberg
You can't stop Mickey Rourke and you don't want to stop Mickey Rourke. Wouldn't it be really, really depressing if his performance in "The Wrestler" turned out to be a fluke and he just decided to phone it in from here on out? Boy, we'd all feel reeeeal stupid for cheering him on.
But right now, we can cheer on Rourke with impunity (we'll just forget "The Informers") and our cheering continues as Variety is reporting that Rourke has signed on to star in Larry Clark's ("Kids", "Wassup Rockers") remake of Neil Jordan's 1986 British gangster flick, "Mona Lisa".

Eva Green is in negotiations to play the part of the escort and we all hope she gets it not only because I can buy her as
