Edward James Olmos In Talks To Join Cast Of ‘Two Guns’

After roles on ‘Dexter’, ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and in ‘The Green Hornet’ Variety is reporting that Olmos is in talks to play Papi Greco. Greco is a mexican druglord who will go up against the protagonists in the film.

2 Guns is a graphic novel from Boom! Studios by Steven Grant and Mat Santolouco.

“A pulp story about cops and thieves and the men that are something in between. Trench has targeted a local bank to rob, and asked Steadman in on the job. Trench figures it’s a great way to score — considering it’s a cover for mob money. They’ll be thieves ripping off thieves. But what Steadman doesn’t know is that Trench is a DEA agent. And what Trench doesn’t know is that Steadman’s a Naval Intelligence officer. They’re both cops! And neither one knows that they’re not robbing the mob, they’ve been set up to steal $50 million from the CIA! A light-hearted crime romp in the vein of Ocean’s Thirteen and The Italian Job from comics legend, Steven Grant!”

Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington will star as the protagonists of the film with Baltasar Kormakur (‘Inhale’, ‘Contraband’) directing.

No release date has been set yet.
