Mickey Rourke is making a big return to the big screen just as his personal life started to feel more like a movie plot twist than reality. After facing the unfortunate situation of eviction from his Los Angeles home—complete with rodent issues that would make anyone cringe—he’s pulled himself back up and landed a significant role in “Sol Hershowitz’s Guide to Extraterrestrial Life.” Talk about a comeback!
Currently filming in Utah, Rourke is set to bring the character of a paranoid ex-military conspiracist to life, claiming to have stolen alien technology from the government. As if that weren’t intriguing enough, his representative, Kimberly Hines, is ecstatic about his return to work and the project is already underway. It’s great to see Mickey shaking off the dust from those tough times and diving headfirst into a new acting gig. Will he outsmart the aliens or just give them one heck of a show?
