Arnold Schwarzenegger And Sylvester Stallone’s ‘The Tomb’ Adds Amy Ryan, 50 Cent, Vincent D’Onofrio, And Vinnie Jones
Mikael Håfström’sThe Tombattracted some attention forreuniting'80s action starsArnold SchwarzeneggerandSylvester Stallone, but the project’s collected quite an eclectic cast since its early days. After addingJim Caviezelback in February,The Tombhas now also signedVincent D’Onofrio,Vinnie Jones,50 Cent, andAmy Ryan. The combination isn’t entirely random: D’Onofrio, Jones, and 50 Cent recently completed production on Lionsgate’sFire with Fire, which likeThe Tombproduced by Emmett/Furla Films. I can’t explain Ryan’s presence, though. More after the jump.Varietyreports that Jones is now set to play a merciless prison guard who takes pleasure in making his charges miserable, while D’Onofrio is in talks to play the Prisons Bureau deputy director who talks Ray into doing one last job before going into retirement. (You’d think movie characters would know better by now than to ever agree to that “one last job.") Ryan takes the movie’s female lead, as Ray’s business partner and a potential romantic interest.The Tombis one of a long string of Emmett/Furla projects for 50 Cent, who’s also starred in the company’sSetup,Freelancers, andThe Frozen Groundand is lined up for itsThe Pursuit. In addition, 50 Cent is attached to Chris Rossi’sLives of the Saints. Ryan’s more recent projects includeWin WinandJack Goes Boating, but her varied resume also includes Paul Greengrass’The Green Zoneand HBO’sThe Wire. She’ll next be seen with Guy Pearce and Felicity Jones in an untitled drama by Drake Doremus.
D’Onofrio completed a ten-year stint onLaw & Order: Criminal Intentlast summer, and has since appeared inKill the IrishmanandSinister. Jones appeared in the short-lived TV seriesThe Cape, and co-starred with D’Onofrio inKill the Irishman.
