Mmmmk, well let’s just take all this “knows when to leap on the right project” stuff back.
Proving that he really is the most graceless guy in Hollywood, Rourke has not only debunked reports that he’d signed on to Seven Psychopaths with Martin McDonagh (In Bruge), but he’s essentially told the Oscar-nominated writer/director to fuck himself publicly.
Speaking with Moviefone during Immortals publicity, Rourke responded to a question about the project thusly:
“The director was a jerkoff. He wanted a whole lot for nothing… he can go play with himself.”
So I guess it’s unclear how the actor will be spending that time he’s not on the set of The Expendables 2, since he’s apparently not on that either.
I think this will come as a relief for a lot of McDonagh fans that feel he could have rejoined with Ralph Fiennes or gotten any number of talented people to join this cast before the hit-or-miss Rourke joined on. Now we get to look forward to whoever will give McDonagh whatever it is he wants along with the rest of the great cast.
Rourke’s loss.

At this rate, no one is going to have to worry about whether or not Rourke will appear in Sin City 2 when it films next year. By then, he’ll probably come crawling to Rodriguez just so he can have a job in a film that will actually make it to theaters.
Oscar WINNING! For his short film Six Shooter, back in ’06 or ’07.
But yeah, silly Mr. Rourke. I really wanted to see him suspectly fondle a little petrified doggys anus on screen again.
Rourke would do well to remember his Hollywood career was all but over until someone threw him a bone and got him back into the game. Now he’s shitting on his own doorstep again? A little humility may go a long way.
Seriously, where’s that Agent he credited with bitch slapping him out of his self destructive behavior? Have they split up?
Ah there you go Mickey. Go ahead and self destruct. Wonder if Sly will give him a bone in some other action film when he goes broke again.
But Tom fucking Waits will!!!! Hahaha. Eat a dick Rourke!
