Hey, who said there weren’t rewards for making a comeback? How about a little “Passion” with Megan Fox?

Since Mickey Rourke thrilled everybody with his Oscar-nominated turn in “The Wrestler,” he’s now getting access to better parts. He’s got a big villain role in this summer’s “Iron Man 2″ and now comes word that he’s starring in a “romantic thriller” with none other than former Port St. Lucie cheerleader and Armani underwear model Megan Fox.

The movie is called “Passion Play,” and according to The Hollywood Reporter, it stars Rourke as a down-and-out jazz trumpeter “who forms a bond with a winged beauty (Fox) who’s now part of a sideshow attraction at a carnival.”Nothing says “sideshow” like Mickey Rourke, eh?
