Jeffrey Dean Morgan Unlimited

Hey, it looks like Jeffrey Dean Morgan has begun filming The Courier.  A couple of different people tweeted some pictures from the set today. Though not close up they give us an idea of what they’re filming. And it’s great to see new pictures!

And someone tweeted that Mickey Rourke is in the cast! That should be fun.

Is there still hope Jeffrey Dean Morgan fans will see The Resident in 2011? The UK film magazine Empire has a small story in their latest issue about the film. So hopefully this means at least a UK release is planned.

Psychodoodle! I like that.

ETA Sept 16 – It looks like there may be two movies called The Courier that are being produced for release next year. The original description seems to be the Jeffrey Dean Morgan movie and the movie about the terrorist plot seems to be another film. That’s good, since the original story sounds more interesting!

ETA: Okay I found another description that combines the 2 plots. I’m just going to link to it since it’s a lot more descriptive than the synopsis I posted. And it seems the script was re-written by the new writer listed on IMDB.

Scene magazine plot description for The Courier

I checked IMDB and it looks like there’s a change in the plot of The Courier. It also lists a new writer who wasn’t announced before. This is what the IMDB now says:

An unsuspecting courier has been the messenger between terrorist cells. Unfolding a plot to bomb a building he teams up with a cop and uses his knowledge of the Big Apple to stop the bombing.

This is the description we saw last week:

The story centers on a courier (Dean Morgan) who has taken on improbable missions and never missed a drop. He’s hired to deliver a briefcase to a notorious underworld figure that can’t be found. The courier finds himself pursued by corrupt cops, double-crossing feds and rival crime bosses.

So which description is the correct one? Which one do you prefer?

If you were hoping to see Jeffrey Dean Morgan in those cute brown UPS shorts, you’re out of luck ladies! This is a different kind of courier. JDM will play “a courier who is tasked to deliver a briefcase to a “notorious underworld figure” that has gone into hiding and is persued by cops, federal agents and criminals.”

And he’ll get an Executive Producer credit for the movie.  Filming starts later this month in Louisiana.

Here’s an early poster from when Adrien Brody was cast. They’ve got the shoes right!

And though there’s been no official word on a co-star, buzz has it that the Halliburton Elite is the frontrunner.
