Twilight Star Producing Whitey Bulger Crime Pic
Notorious Boston gangster Whitey Bulger, who partially influenced Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed, will get his first post-arrest big screen close-up courtesy of Twilight star Peter Facinelli. The actor is producing an adaptation of Street Soldier: My Life as an Enforcer for Whitey Bulger and the Boston Irish Mob, written by former kickboxing champ and Bulger enforcer Edward MacKenzie, AKA Eddie Mac.
No word yet on casting, but Facinelli's previous feature producing credit came in a film he also starred in and co-wrote (Loosies). Could Facinelli (Can't Hardly Wait, The Twilight Saga, Nurse Jackie) cast himself as ex-thug MacKenzie?

I can't hardly wait for that. Literally. I can--and will--extensively wait.
Talent, that is the word that comes to mind when I think of Facinelli. My blog is filled with chatter about Twilight and the upcoming final two films, they are curious as to what character I'll choose as our last character/actor discussion topic but I never disclose on a new film till release. Because I love to write and I require a resources that allows me the movies and TV options necessary to give me an array of choices. It was a bit shocking that Comcast wasn’t making 100% digital programming available plus had such limitations in their programming and initial free equipment. International channels were quite limited which means my writing would suffer on that level and they were not offering HD free for life. This certainly would not work due to the type of writing I do which is all based off movies and the actors surrounding them. Now I did find that with Dish Network I can get more programming and movie channels for far less money plus a free Sling Adapter which fits me as I travel a lot and need to bring my services with me. I ended up changing jobs and started working for Dish Network, still traveling a lot but understanding better how all this is possible. Now I am clear that whatever makes it easiest to work and enjoy my own hobby is what is necessary which brings happiness to me and my members. Perhaps this young man is perfect, I don't want one of the famed trio although I believe Pattinson and Lautner have a lot of unseen talent. But I need to end on imagination just like the films original creator. http://www.besttvforme.com/
