OMG! DDL to Play JJB in Whitey Bulger Movie?

The Globe (via Beantown Bloggery) lists some prime suspects for playing big roles in Jim Sheridan's upcoming film based on Whitey Bulger's story as told in Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob by Dick Lehr and Gerard O'Neill. Sheridan "BFF" Daniel Day-Lewis is pegged to portray Whitey himself, while Matt Damon may play John Connolly, and Mark Wahlberg might be Billy Bulger. It's a cast of (mostly) local stars playing a cast of local criminals... in Southie.
