'Bellucci Catches the 1:30 Train

Bellucci Catches the 1:30 Train

There's no typing Monica Bellucci. The beautiful Italian actress has lent her talents to everything from the Matrix sequels to the hugely successful Mel Gibson film The Passion of the Christ, to punishing art-house fare like the French shocker Irreversible. After that, a straightforward American suspense film like gay director Joel Schumacher's 1:30 Train should feel like a walk in the park. Or maybe not. Bellucci will star as a woman in New York City attempting to catch the title train to Boston. When she's robbed on her way there, however, it throws her world into chaos. In real life, of course, the police would be called and that would be the end of it. But this will be a Joel Schumacher movie, and one thing you can count on is that the director of Phone Booth knows how to paint his characters into corners. Expect the thrills to arrive sometime in 2009.
