Cargo Entertainment has cast Oscar-winning TRUE BLOOD starlet Anna Paquin as the female lead in their heist-thriller BLACK WINGS HAS MY ANGEL. Rising thesp Tom Hiddleston, who plays Thor’s villainous brother Loki and can also be currently seen in Spielberg’s WAR HORSE, has also joined the film. Another familiar face – Frodo Baggins himself – Elijah Wood, will also be amongst the cast.
The film is being directed by Alfonso Pineda Ulloa and is adapted from the 1953 novel (republished many years later under the title of ‘One For The Money‘) by Elliott Chaze. The plot centres around the exploits of an escaped convict and a ‘high-class hooker’ whose lives are forever changed by an armoured car heist.
Elijah Wood, who has just completed work as the psychopathic lead (previously played by the late, great Joe Spinell), in a remake of William Lustig’s cult video-nasty classic MANIAC will also serve as producer.
