Vinnie Jones joins 'Wedlocked,' 'Aces' prequel

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."

A spoof spoofing spoof flicks??

No, this is most definitely not a joke. Chevy Chase, Burt Reynolds, Vinnie Jones, Michael Madsen and John Melendez are working on a movie that spoofs other spoofs.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the project is entitled “Not Another Not Another Movie.” In the film, Chase plays a studio head who quits his job and leaves his ex-con sibling (Madsen) in charge.

Soon enough, one of their gangster friends (Jones) jumps on board and takes control of the business, ordering a production assistant to direct a spoof of spoof flicks. Reynolds plays an actor who stars as a director in the spoof.

David Murphy is directing the flick, which the trade says features plenty of cameos, including Tim Piper, Jennifer Sciole and James Duval.

Considering I’m sick and tired of spoofs, I admit this may be an opportunity to create something funny. Then again, it will still be a spoof, and I’ve definitely had it with spoofs for a while.

Whatever…
