If you've been living under a rock or a bridge you probably don't know who Jackie Estacado is and you don't understand why this demon-incarnate life-form is controlling him. Long-story short; on Jackie's 21st birthday "The Darkness," not the high-pitched metal band, takes control of his life and unleashes the power within him. With his new found abilities and schizophrenic alter-ego his family's mafia doesn't stand a chance.
There is no new info on this project as of yet. I wouldn't get my hopes up just yet because this project has been have turbulence for years.
It would be nice if someone like Christopher Nolan got behind this project or Zach Snyder.
Who would you want to play Jackie? They have to be young, mean, menacing, powerful, looks italian, and can switch from bi-polar to wacked-out crazy. They also have to carry the burden of inner-monologues, pain, and sorrow but be evil enough to kill without hesitation. The other thing is Hollywood does not need a pretty boy. Yes most actors are attractive for a reason but Jackie loses his love interest, he doesnt date, he doesnt kiss, he lives to feed The Darkness.
Here's my choices for Jackie Estacado: (they are not in any order, although I'd pay to see Ben Foster in this.)
Ben Foster, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy (but i dont know), Cillian Murphy, Milo Ventimiglia, Jackson Rathbone, Tyler Blackburn, Jared Leto (Hes a bit old for the part but I think he could pull it off).
