Aronofsky will direct the film, which is based on the book by Charlie Hustonwho also wrote the script for the film.

The film follows Hank Thompson (Butler), “a washed-up former baseball player, as he unwittingly finds himself embroiled in a wild battle for survival in the criminal underworld of 1990s New York City.”

There’s no news yet on who will play Bad Bunny, but he joins a cast that also includes Zoë Kravitz, Regina King, Matt Smit, Dear Schreiber And Will Brill.

The book description gives more details and it looks like it could make a great movie!

“It’s three thousand miles from the green fields of glory where Henry ‘call me Hank’ Thompson once played baseball in California, to the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where the tenements are old, the rents are high, and the drunks are filthy. But now Hank is here, working as a bartender and taking care of a cat named Bud who is sure to have him killed.

“It starts when Hank’s neighbor, Russ, has to leave town quickly and hands Bud over in a baby carrier. But it’s not until two Russians in sweatsuits drag Hank across the bar at the joint where he works and beat him to a pulp that he begins to understand: Someone wants something from him. He just doesn’t know what it is, where it is, or how to tell them he doesn’t have it.

“Within twenty-four hours, Hank is running across rooftops, hitting someone on the head with his old aluminum baton at just the right point, playing hide-and-seek with the NYPD, riding the subway with a dead man at his side, and counting out a bunch of money on a concrete floor.

“All thanks to two cowboys, two Russian mobsters and some of the strangest outlaws ever in one place. All because of Bud. All because once upon a time, in another life, in another world, all Hank wanted was to get to third base—without getting caught.”
