Rian Johnson's Next - The Brothers Bloom

Well it seems the overall success of Rian Johnson's stellar debut film, the teen-noir "Brick" (Twitch Review) has made his stock in Hollywood circles rise dramatically. His new film, a con-man drama with noir overtones, "The Brothers Bloom," has not started shooting yet, but many talented folks have come aboard, including Adrien Brody, Rachel Weisz, and Rinko Kichuchi. Say what you will about the muddled "Babel", Kichuchi and her thread of the story is the most compelling of the three. She's got more than enough presence for a femme fatale. Weisz has done neo-noir before with "Confidence" as has Brody in the re-make of "The Singing Detective":

'A pair of con-men, related by blood, the younger of whom falls for one of their marks.'

Shooting will take place later this year.
