Ryan Reynolds is set to star in a new film called Mississippi Grind. The project is being written and directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (Half Nelson), and Reynolds will star alongside Ben Mendelsohn (The Dark Knight Rises, Killing Them Softly).
According to Deadline the film focuses on a gambler who is "on a losing streak with teams with a younger gambling addict, hoping to change his luck. They road trip through the South hoping fortune will smile upon them."
Reynold's will next be seen in the supernatural action film R.I.P.D. He just finished working on the Atom Egoyan-directed film Queen Of The Night and the Tarsem Singh-directed thriller Selfless, which is about a "wealthy elderly man who gets a body transplant, with complications ensuing when he starts to uncover the body’s origins."
I like Reynolds, and the films he's making these days all seem good, but I really hope he gets to make that Deadpool movie one day.
