Vincent Cassel Playing Notorious Real Life Criminal.

Mmmm, Vince. Word has come out that Vincent Cassel will headline an all star cast in a pair of films telling the true story of notorious international criminal Jacques Mesrine - who plied his trade throughout France, Canada, the USA and Venezuala - to be directed by Assault on Precinct 13's Jean-François Richet. Tucked away in the massive cast is the rather fun note that Cassel's father will be playing Mesrine's adoptive father in the films. Nice.

All the details here. Thanks to Mary for the pointer.
