Nate Poole (Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler, Iron Man 2) is a washed-up jazz musician fleeing from trigger-happy gangster Happy Shannon (Bill Murray, Lost In Translation). While on the run, Nate stumbles across a traveling carnival, and is instantly mesmerized by the carnival's prized attraction, Lily "The Bird Woman" (Megan Fox, Transformers). But Lily is no carny fake: her wings are real. The fugitive musician falls in love with this angelic creature, and he convinces her to leave with him, to the anger of her ruthless employer (Rhys Ifans, Notting Hill). The two flee across the desert, but towards... what? Their destruction? Their salvation?
Combining realism and myth, Passion Play is a portrait of humanity at its best and worst. Gritty and hard-boiled, it is also an adult fairytale that promises hope in the most unlikely of places.
Passion Play was released May 6th, 2011 and stars Mickey Rourke, Megan Fox, Bill Murray, Kelly Lynch, Jerry Sawyers, Armin Amiri, Tina Borek, Charlie B. Brown. The film is directed by Mitch Glazer.

The first respectable turn by Fox? Could it be?

Nice looking poster and an awesome cast. How did Fox end up with such a brilliant cast of actors. Maybe deep inside her there is a classic actress waiting to get out. Whatever the case, i am a HUGE Bill Murray fan so i will definatly see this. I have never missed one of his movies.
Anyone ever see Where the Buffalo Rome? Its about Hunter S thompson but instead of the Raoul Duke character...i think this is a more acurate portrayal of the man. Its a great film. Mind you, its no Fear and Loathing but as i said this is about Thompson and not Raoul. If you havnt seen it check it out..... if your a Murray fan.
