- JOE
 |
| Nicolas Cage |
Nicolas Cage has locked the leading role in David Gordon
Green's Joe. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that the Stolen star will
headline the adaptation of the 1991 Larry Brown novel, officially described as
follows:
Nearing fifty, Joe Ransom won't slow down, not in his
pickup, not with a gun-and certainly not with women. But all the fast living in
Mississippi won't fill the hunger Joe can't name. At fifteen, Gary Jones is
already slipping through the cracks. Part of a hopeless, homeless wandering
family, he's desperate for a way out. He finds it in Joe. Together they follow
a twisting map to redemption - or ruin.
Screenwriter Gary Hawkins, who wrote and directed the 2002
Brown documentary, The Rough Side of Larry Brown, adapted the tale for the
screen.
