Smokin’ prequel update

JoBloJoBlo

It’s been around a year since we heard anything solid on the proposed prequel to SMOKIN’ ACES — at that time, writer/director Joe Carnahan had finished the script and was awaiting official approval.

Apparently that approval has finally come, as “Smokin’ Joe” succinctly states at his blog: “Finally, some actual ‘Smokin Aces’ news. Universal has officially greenlit the prequel and we are underway. Cameos will abound. Trust me.

There ya go — more excessive and kinetic hitman violence on the way, courtesy of the ACES originator. Here’s hoping those cameos include the exceptionally fine Alicia Keys and Affleck’s awesome pornstache.
