Rhys Meyers dons cape for "Mandrake" By Stuart Kemp Wed Oct 31, 4:35 AM ET Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers will star as the eponymous hero of "Mandrake," a feature based on the classic Hearst comic book about an extreme escape artist embroiled in international intrigue. The independently financed film is scheduled to shoot early next year in China and the United States. Chuck Russell ("The Scorpion King") will direct. "This is a rare opportunity to reinvent one of the all-time classic comic book characters and create a new kind of hero for international audiences," Russell said. Rhys Meyers plays Henry VIII in Showtime's "The Tudors." Reuters/Hollywood Reporter |
