    Wayne Kramer Directing Pretty Boy Floyd 

     

    Wayne Kramer the director of Running Scared has come on board to direct Kevin Bernhardt's crime-thriller Pretty Boy Floyd, based on the life of famous outlaw Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd. The film will be produced by Kirk D'Amico, whose Myriad Pictures will hold worldwide rights.

    Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd was a bank robber during the infamous gangster era of the 1920s and was wanted by the FBI for the Kansas City murder of police officers. Floyd, however, considered himself something of a Robin Hood.

    Most recently Floyd was portrayed by Channing "the turd" Tatum in brief cameo in Public Enemies. But has yet to be the center of his own full length feature. As long as they don't cast Tatum in the lead role for this I'll be happy. I'm sure Paul Walker will be rumored simply because of his previous working relationship with kramer in Running Scared. But I can't picture Walker in the role either.

    Kramer and D'Amico are currently casting for the leads roles, including Floyd, his wife, and the bounty hunter who dedicated much of his life to the relentless pursuit of Floyd.

    I thought Tatum was great, and he actually looks the part.

    Wayne Kramer rocks as a director. He'll definitely bring style and chops to this thing. I also think Tatum is underrated. Have you see "Guide to Recognizing your Saints?" He was solid in that.
