Fiennes to Double Down for Jordan...

English actor Ralph Fiennes has signed on for a cameo in the feature "Double Down" for Alliance Atlantis, Company of Wolves. The well known Irish film maker Neil Jordan is directing the project, which stars Nick Nolte, Tcheky Karyo, Said Taghmaoui, Gerard Darmon, Quassini Embarek, Mark Lavoine, Emir Kursturica and Nutsa Kukhianidze also have been cast.

The film is shooting in the south of France at the moment. Earlier this year the film director confirmed he was to make three films after a slight spell in retirement when he told ShowBizIreland.com that he was writing a novel.

Now, the director has secured the rights to not just his current project with Nick Nolte. His next film will is expected to be a controversial film called Lucrezia a period based drama telling the story of Italy's notorious Borgia, a family filled with corruption and wealth in the 1500's.

The director has also in between these two project been planning a film on the life of the famous Australian robber Ned Kelly. The director recently beat off stiff competition to get the rights to the book by Peter Carey called The True Story of the Kelly Gang.

Rolling Stone Mick Jagger played the lead role in a seventies film based on Ned Kelly. Jordan is believed to be looking at a young Irish or Australian actor to play the lead of Kelly who was skilled at the age of 25.

In the meantime Brendan Gleeson has signed on to play the second male lead in "The Plague Season" alongside Kurt Russell for Intermedia Films and United Artists. Ron Shelton is set to direct. Thanks to CPK for the scoop.
