Australia’s Guy Pearce is being eyed to star in the film adaptation of Stuart Browne’s “Dangerous Parking”.

To be directed by Peter Howitt ["Sliding Doors"], the film tells of a filmmaker and alcoholic (Pearce), who has led quite a seedy life - sex, drugs and rock and roll, and then some - but decides its time for a reevaluation when he’s diagnosed with cancer.

Mena Suvari is also being tipped for a role in the film.

It’s unknown when “Parking” would get off the ground : Pearce has just started filming “First Snow” with Piper Perabo and next up will shoot “I Believe in America” with Luis Guzman and Hector Elizondo. The always dependable Suvari is also pretty busy.

Speaking of which, Suvari told Moviehole a bit about her next pic, “Domino”, on the weekend. “Domino was a great movie to work on”, she says. “Tony Scott is one of the best directors that I have worked with. He is so passionate about what he does and adds so much energy and inspiration to the set environment”. The film - headlined by Keira Knightley - does look like quite a treat actually.

More news on “Dangerous Parking” - which Danny Boyle was being lined up to do a couple of years back - as it comes to hand.
