Ben Kingsley Takes A Hit

Oh, the Mafia and their concrete-over coating, pistol-whipping, Bada-binging ways. They’re just so funny!

The Last Seduction’s John Dahl thinks so. Which explains why he’s at the helm of You Kill Me, a new comedy written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely.

Ben Kingsley, Tea Leoni and Like Wilson have signed up to star in the tale of a hard-drinking hit man who is sent to rehab. He finds himself a sponsor and gets a job in a funeral home where he meets a woman who was related to one of his hits.

Also cropping up are Dennis Farina, Philip Baker Hall and Bill Pullman and they all start shooting in a few days in Canada. It’s not Kingsley’s first brush with gangsters- everyone remembers his turn in Sexy Beast and he’s also just turned up in a hilarious cameo as himself on The Sopranos.
