Paul Giamatti And Anthony Mackie Going To Babylon

Variety brings us news that Paul Giamatti and Anthony Mackie have signed on to star in an upcoming indie thriller from writer Ian Stone and director Andrés Baiz (Satanás). The film, entitled Babylon, is set in Jamaica and finds Mackie playing a Rasta and Giamatti a British minister. The two of them accompany a 12-year-old Jamaican boy from the Kingston ghetto as they try to outrun gangsters. I haven't seen Satanás but I've heard good things about it, and both Giamatti and Mackie are actors I like, so hopefully this turns out to be a cool little movie.
