Update: According to Image Entertainment, Passion Play will be getting a theatrical release starting in New York and Los Angeles.
Megan Fox’s Passion Play, which released promo stills not too long ago, is going straight to DVD. The movie bombed at a screening at the Toronto Film Festival in September garnering horrible reviews. Some viewers even openly mocked the movie as it played before they walked out. Not surprisingly, no one picked it up for distribution. Rourke says it’s not Megan’s fault though. She’s actually pretty good.
“I think the pleasant surprise was this girl who’s a world-class beauty turned out to be probably the best young actress I’ve ever worked with,” Rourke said. “I don’t know if a lot of her films have showcased her acting ability more than, say, being action-oriented, but she really stepped up the plate with this one and was very consistent and professional, beyond her years. At 23, I couldn’t do half of what she’s doing.”
Translation: I want to hit that so I can’t piss her off.
