Guy Pearce Jumps Like a Hungry Rabbit
Guy Pearce Joins Cast of ‘The Hungry Rabbit Jumps’
You know who we don’t really see enough of? Guy Pearce.
The Guy is proven talent, from Ravenous to Memento to The Hurt Locker, but for some reason has never really been given his chance to shine as a leading man in the public eye since the lackluster Time Machine remake.
The good news is that we’ll be seeing him again very soon, in Roger Donaldson’s The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. You may remember Donaldson from The Bank Job and The World’s Fastest Indian. Pearce is joining the film alongside Nicolas Cage and Mad Men’s January Jones, while no other casting details have been revealed.
The film, which will center around “a man (presumably Cage) who becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization after his wife (Jones) is the victim of a brutal crime” has been scripted by unproven screenwriter Robert Tannen. It sounds remarkably similar to Death Wish or any other revenge flick under the sun, but with the bony Pearce along for the ride, who knows what could happen.
According to Variety, shooting will start in a few weeks in New Orleans.
