Vincent D’Onofrio Joins Wayne Kramer’s ‘Pawn Shop Chronicles’

DEADLINE

EXCLUSIVE:

Director Wayne Kramer has set Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Elijah Wood, Vincent D’Onofrio, Pell James, Thomas Jane, Lukas Haas, Chi McBride, Ashlee Simpson, Kevin Rankin, DJ Qualls, Michael Cudlitz and Norman Reedus for Pawn Shop Chronicles. Jordan Schur, CEO and Co-Chairman of Mimran Schur Pictures, revealed the cast just as shooting gets underway in Baton Rouge. Kramer previously set Paul Walker in the film. Schur is producing with David Mimran, Walker, Nick Thurlow and Steven Schneider. Adam Minarovich wrote the screenplay. Mimran Schur is financing.

The film is a dark comedy about a man searching for his abducted wife, a couple of white supremacist meth heads and a sad sack Elvis impersonator all linked through items sold or found in a small Southern town’s local pawn shop.

“This is a superbly written mind-bender of a story that grabs you from the first line, and doesn’t let go,” stated Schur. “We are incredibly fortunate to have found Wayne Kramer to present it, and equally thrilled with the diverse and talented cast assembled.”

I'm thinking its probably a small role for VDO but it sounds fascinating. Love to see that he's just got a number of projects going.

If he plays the Elvis impersonator I'll die laughing.

havers, what movie were VDO and Reedus in together?

@vikeau: They both played in Cadillac Records but they had no scene together. :o(

I will be glad to see Thomas Jane again since the demise of Hung. I too would love to see VDO as the Elvis impersonator, he would be perfect!

I'll keep an eye on what the roles are and post it when I find it.
