ProductionWeekly's Twitter page revealed that Passion Play starts production this month.
Mitch Glazer's period drama Passion Play starring Mickey Rourke & Megan Fox will shoot in New Mexico from Oct. thru Dec.
Passion Play is the directorial debut for screenwriter Glazer (Scrooged), who also wrote the script. It follows an unusual romance between a down-on-his-luck trumpet player (Rourke) and a caged circus freak (Fox), which forms when Rourke saves Fox from a ruthless mobster. Fox described the project and her character to MTV last month.
I'm doing a movie called Passion Play with Mickey Rourke. There is a love story there, it's clearly not going to be a typical one. My character is basically a circus freak, she lives in a cage 'cause she has wings. She's not an angel, but she has these giant wings that grow out of her back. She's a freak and so she's on display basically with the circus.
Passion Play is set for release sometime in 2010.
