Stevenson, Walken, Kilmer to be 'Irishman'

Jonathan Hensleigh ("The Punisher") will direct Ray Stevenson, Christopher Walken and Val Kilmer in Code Entertainment's mob drama "The Irishman."

Hensleigh also wrote the screenplay which was inspired by Rick Porrello's book "To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia."

The story is based on the life of mobster Danny Greene (Stevenson), who reigned over Cleveland’s vicious underworld during the late 1970s. Walken will play nightclub owner Shondor Birns, and Kilmer will play a Cleveland police officer who becomes friends with Greene.

Code Entertainment’s Al Corley, Bart Rosenblatt and Eugene Musso will handle producing duties along with Dundee Entertainment's Tommy Reid and actress Tara Reid, who brought the property to Code.Shooting begins May 19 in Detroit.
