Vinnie Jones has a busy schedule in the near future.

Jones has officially signed on to star in Rob Hedden's romantic comedy "Wedlocked," about a pet photographer who gets involved with a mobster and his daughter (Katharine McPhee).

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jones will play the mobster, who attempts to kidnapp McPhee's character.

The second project Jones recently joined is "Smokin' Aces: Blowback," a "Smokin' Aces" prequel in which he plays an assassin hunting down a mob who is hiding in Las Vegas. P.J. Pesce is directing the film, which will go straight to DVD.

Jones recently starred in "Hell Ride" and "Midnight Meat Train." He will soon be seen in "Year One" and "Not Another Not Another Movie."
