WINNER MICKEY ROURKE'S CAREER IS ON FIRE

Renewed Hollywood star Mickey Rourke's good luck will continue. The very talented actor has landed the lead role in upcoming action thriller St. Vincent. Rourke's fantastic return to the acting world after many years in the wilderness, following many run-ins with police and fights with movie executives is all behind the actor now. His return is sealed by receiving a Golden Globe award last month for his performance in The Wrestler. And Rourke, who most likely will win the Best Actor prize at the upcoming Academy Awards, has now reportedly been given the starring role in St. Vincent, about an assassin who returns to New York City to complete a botched hit. Walter Hill will direct the film, which is to begin shooting later this year.
