Ray Winstone and Goodfella's star Ray Liotta are joining Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke and 50 Cent for 13 (is this one of the biggest tough guy casts ever or what?).

The film is an English-language remake of French thriller 13 Tzameti to be directed by Gela Babluani, who wrote and helmed the original.

The testosterone-fuelled gang will surround Control star Sam Riley who'll play a character who inadvertently finds himself in the middle of a dark and dangerous underground scene where a Russian Roulette-style game is played.

Statham will play an exploitative rich man, Rourke a convict sold into the game and 50 Cent an employee assigned to escort Rourke. Winstone will portray a competitor who's freed from a mental institution while Liotta will be the cop attempting to uncover the competition.

Production begins in New York on November 20, Empire reports.
