Adrien Brody & Vince Vaughn Are 'The Bookie and the Bruiser'

The Big Picture Adrien Brody and Vince Vaughn are set to be The Bookie and the Bruiser. The duo will star in a new period crime thriller from Bone Tomahawk director S. Craig Zahler. The film is in pre-production, and is slated to film this fall; it will be shopped to buyers at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.

The film will center around two friends in 1959 New York: the intellectual Rivner and the pugilistic Boscolo . Both men served overseas in World War II, and are unable to return to their normal lives after what they experienced; thus, they go into business for themselves. They establish a highly profitable illegal gambling operation, with Rivner as the bookmaker and Boscolo as his muscle; unfortunately, their success attracts attention from their criminal rivals.

What Can Vince Vaughn and Adrien Brody Be Seen In Now? Close Vaughn recently starred in the final seasons of Curb Your Enthusiasm, playing Freddy Funkhouser, the half-brother of Marty Funkhouser . This year, he will lend his voice to one of the imaginary friends of IF; next year, he will reteam with IF's Ryan Reynolds for the live action/animated comedy Animal Friends, and will star alongside Susan Sarandon in the Stephen Chbosky comedy Nonnas.

The Bookie and the Bruiser will be produced by Anthony Katagas via his Keep Your Head Productions and by Dave Caplan . Anton Corp will shop the film to international distributors at this month's Cannes Film Festival, while UTA Independent Film Group and Range Media Partners will represent the film's North American rights.

The Bookie and the Bruiser is currently in pre-production, and is expected to begin filming this fall; no release date has yet been announced. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates, and watch the trailer for Zahler and Vaughn's Brawl in Cell Block 99 below.
