A few weeks ago, we brought you the news that bad boys Jason Statham, 50 Cent, and Mickey Rourke had joined the thriller "13” alongside up-and-comer Sam Riley.
As if that wasn't an impressive enough cast, they've been joined by two new heavies -- and we finally get the scoop on who's playing whom. According to Variety, Ray Winstone and Ray Liotta are joining the cast, making this one group of guys you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley -- or, in this case, an underground club.

FROM MTV.COM: Now here's a movie that oozes sheer testosterone. According to Variety, 50 Cent, Mickey Rourke and Jason Statham have signed on to star opposite Sam Riley in "13," a remake of the French film "13 Tzameti." Before you groan at the word "remake," and wonder why we can't leave European films alone, take a deep breath. This one not only has the consent of the original director, Gela Babluani, but is being written and directed by him.
The plot centers around a naive young man, who decides to steal a package, and follow its accompanying instructions hoping for a big payoff. But when he arrives at his destination, he finds a secret and ugly world, where men are gambling behind closed doors on the lives of other men. And he's been trailed there by an edgy, angry cop. I think we all know this isn't going to end well.
