Vinnie Jones 'signs up for two films'

Vinnie Jones has signed up to play criminals in two new films, it has emerged.

Jones will join Dave Annable and Katharine McPhee to play a Croatian mobster in Rob Hedden's Wedlocked, Hollywood Reporter says.

He will also play an assassin in the direct-to-DVD prequel from Universal, Smokin' Aces: Blowback.

The film will be directed by P.J. Pesce, and also stars Tom Berenger, Clayne Crawford, Tommy Flanagan and Maury Sterling.

Last year, reports emerged that Jones had become involved in a brawl in a South Dakota bar over a comment made about his role in X-Men: The Last Stand.
