American actress and fashion icon Chloë Sevigny is one of Hollywood’s most gifted acting talents. Known for her many indie film roles, Sevigny has garnered much critical acclaim since her 1995 debut, including Academy Award- and Golden Globe-nominations for her performance in Boys Don’t Cry. Sevigny is also revered for her offbeat sense of style, and recently revealed her third clothesline for hip NY label Opening Ceremony.

It’s was quite a while ago since we last had some movie news to report. However, there’s finally some news, as according to Reuters, Chloë is in negotiations to star in the upcoming film Mr. Nice:
The true story of international drug dealer and UK spy Howard Marks is aiming to give moviegoers a buzz. Rhys Ifans, Chloë Sevigny and David Thewlis are in final negotiations to star in Mr. Nice, writer-director Bernard Rose’s adaptation of Marks’ 2002 best-selling autobiography.
Ifans will play Britain’s one-time most wanted man, a late-’60s-era Oxford grad and teacher who turned to drug smuggling out of boredom and to impress his future wife Judy (Sevigny). While enlisting the help of an Irish Republican Army boss (Thewlis) for a hashish job, he was recruited by a British intelligence officer for a loose network of informants. The charming criminal assumed the alias Mr. Nice. After encounters with the Mafia and CIA and nearly 30 tons of pot smuggling, he spent seven years in prison.
Personally, I can’t wait! It’s been a while since we had anything new movie-wise in Chloë-land.
Awesome!
The cast sounds great, hopefully the film is as promising as it sounds.
I’m excited!
