Yes, I had to check my sources a couple of times to see if this was true. Either his acting game has stepped up and or Sir Ben Kingsley needs to pay for house or something. But after seeing the photos of Ben on set, the story is true. Rapper-actor Method Man is working along with Kingsley, Famke Janssen and Mary-Kate Olsen in 'The Wackness'.

Set in 1994, the film centers on a troubled teenage drug dealer and a drug-addled psychiatrist -- after the former trades pot for therapy sessions, then falls for the doctor's daughter. The film is currently being shot in New York

I would be totally shocked if Method Man was NOT playing a co-hort of the drug dealer. Let's see, in most of his films (Belly, How High, and Garden State), Method has played a character that had something to do with drugs. I wonder if this was an easy sell for him to take the film?

I would have killed to be in the room when Kingsley, a three-time Academy Award nominee and winner of the 1983 Best Actor Oscar for his legendary performance in 'Gandhi', was told who his castmmates would be. Then again, with the exception of 'You Kill Me', which is currently in theaters, Kingsley's other films of late have not been impressive. His most recent film, 'The Last Legion' wasn't even shown to critics, and prior to that, he did duds like Bloodrayne, A Sound of Thunder, and Suspect Zero. I guess when you gotta eat, you have no choice as to what's given to you.

As for Mary-Kate, try the mags for her bio. But hey, if the film is a hit, I'll be the first one cheering.
