Scherfig and Biel team up on Mob Girl

An Education director Lone Scherfig and actress Jessica Biel are getting together to make the upcoming project Mob Girl, says Pajiba. The story is based off the novel written by Teresa Carpenter and has yet to attach a writer to the project. With the kind of big names like Scherfig and Biel attached to it, that spot could quickly get filled up.

From an early age, Arlyn Brickman associated with petty and some not so petty racketeering figures, starting with her grandmother and father. Intoxicated by the glamour and flash, she made herself “indispensable” to wiseguys by running errands, carrying packages, or offering her home as a meeting place or safe haven–not to mention the dozens of mob figures with whom she slept. Before long, she vaulted from an adjunct role into the thick of bookmaking, loansharking, and drug dealing. Over a 30-year career, she had eight abortions and endured beatings, humiliations, and a brutal rape, eventually becoming a government informant and witness.

Jessica Biel last appeared on the big screen as part of the all star cast for Garry Marshall’s Valentine’s Day. Next, she will be co-starring along with Bradley Cooper and others in the big screen version of The A-Team, poised to be released June 11th.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
