Last week the news emerged that Vincent D'Onofrio would be heading to jail as the deputy warden of Sylvester Stallone's impregnable prison The Tomb. Before that however, D'Onofrio is taking a detour round a **Mall.
The 'dark drama' is being directed by Joe Hahn, who's better known at the moment as Linkin Park's DJ.
The premise is that a group of teenage mallrats have the peace of their emo-moping shattered when a disgruntled former employee of a tuxedo shop goes on a murderous rampage. He was, clearly, one step closer to the edge and about to break.
D'Onofrio's role hasn't been revealed so far. It's doubtful that he's one of the teens, obviously, but we've yet to learn if he's the gunman, or a mall official, or a cop, or a concerned parent, or another shopper caught up in the carnage, or a vigilante who crawls around the air ducts in a dirty vest to save the day. Does that cover all the possibilities? His co-stars currently include Cameron Monaghan, James Frecheville, India Menuez and Michael Kenneth Williams.
Linkin Park are doing the music, natch, and given his little acting sideline (he was in Saw 7 and both Cranks) don't be surprised if Chester Bennington also shows up on-screen. Shooting starts next week in LA.
