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.
