Ron Perlman to join Ryan Gosling in 'Drive'

Ron Perlman is attached to star in Nicolas Winding Refn's upcoming action thriller "Drive," which also stars Ryan Gosling, Bryan Cranston and Carey Mulligan. It's based on the novel by James Sallis.

Gosling plays a Hollywood stuntman who spends some of his time as getaway driver during robberies. One day things spin out of control, and he finds himself on the run with an ex-con’s girlfriend (Mulligan).

Hossein Amini penned the script. Perlman, who plays Clarence 'Clay' Morrow on "Sons of Anarchy," has "Season of the Witch," "The Riot" and "Conan" coming soon. (Source: ScreenDaily)

Perlman as Elvis in ‘Bubba Nosferatu’?

AICN recently had a nice chat with actor Paul Giamatti, who’s been attached to star in Don Coscarelli’s “Bubba Nosferatu and the Curse of the She-Vampires,” a follow-up to “Bubba Ho-tep.”

In the original film, Elvis Presley set out to battle an ancient Egyptian mummy. Bruce Campbell starred in the lead role, but he recently said he wouldn’t return for a second film.

Well, according to Giamatti, Ron Perlman is interested in stepping as Elvis. Here’s part of what he had to say about this:

“So then he asked me if I was interested in doing this one and I was just like “You have got to be kidding me. Yeah, absolutely!” I said, “I have a little production company and we can help you guys do this” and he brought me in onboard and now we have got Ron Perlman interested in playing Elvis.”

I have to admit I haven’t seen “Bubba Ho-tep” yet, but Giamatti and Perlman together in a horror comedy sounds like quite the enjoyable experience.
