The Hollywood Reporter posts that he's in negotiations to write, direct, and star in The Town -- a romance/heist flick. It's about a gal bank manager who has her heart broken by a thief "who stole more than her heart" and an FBI agent trying to bust him. Yes, more bad guy allure versus good guy aggravation, I'm sure.

However, Rockwell was quick to praise the performance of fellow actor Ed Norton, who

CHOKE - Official Trailer (Chuck P)
A wickedly colorful dark comedy about mothers and sons, sexual compulsion, and the sordid underbelly of colonial theme parks. Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell), a sex-addicted med-school dropout, who keeps his increasingly deranged mother, Ida (Anjelica Huston), in an expensive private medical hospital by working days as a historical reenactor at a colonial-era theme park. Yes, I’ve read the book and fuck yes, imma watch the motion picture. I think they mis-cast the nurse though - she sounded way hotter

Rob Corddry Expecting Second Daughter
“We have a short list of names that we are considering. My 2-year-old (daughter Sloane) is pretty set on the name ‘Freeka.’ She also likes ‘Laurie Berkner,’ but that sounds weird in front of Corddry. We may just go with ‘Baby the Entertainer’ in case she grows up to be a black comedian.” The newest addition is due to make her appearance in November.

Sam, Clark, and Chuck: ‘Choke’ Artists
Choke is a vulgar film, obscene and obsessive. Sexual addiction, chronic masturbation, colonial theme parks, mental institutions, and one lady's woo woo. Culled straight from the mind of iconoclastic author Chuck Palahniuk, the film is a juggling act of childhood trauma, compulsion, and redemption, all brought to life by first-time director Clark Gregg, and starring the colorful oddball Sam Rockwell. The three of them were recently in New York doing press for the film, and when you're around such depraved i

Election season: Three political movies for fall
It’s hard to say whether Hollywood has Election Fever, or why symptoms of that fever would show up, all at once, just before a showing of Burn After Reading—in which the U.S. government is like somebody’s exasperated dad, at best—but there’s a definite theme to the theatrical fare this fall. Come October, the roster is packed with political movies, from pomp-and-circumstance dramas to smaller, more character-driven stories. Here are a few slated for release before Christmas: Milk:
