PopGoesTheNews.com • Two iconic Hollywood leading men are braving the cold of a Canadian winter to work on a new movie.
Kurt Russell and Matt Dillon are co-starring with Canadian actor Jay Baruchel in The Black Marks, a comedy about a mediocre motorcycle daredevil and semi-reformed art thief who teams up with his brother to steal one of the rarest books in the world.

It's the second feature-length film for Canadian director Jonathan Sobol, whose A Beginner's Guide to Endings starring Scott Caan and Harvey Keitel debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2010. Cameras are scheduled to roll on The Black Marks from mid-January until the end of February.
Russell, 60, is no stranger to Ontario. He and his longtime girlfriend, actress Goldie Hawn, have spent a string of summers at a cottage in the Muskoka area. Russell, whose long list of credits include Escape from New York and Silkwood, was in Toronto last May for a charity event in support of Mount Sinai Hospital.
Dillon, 47, was a big-screen heartthrob in the '80s thanks to roles in films like Little Darlings and The Outsiders. He has worked steadily since, most recently in the comedy You, Me and Dupree and the action drama Armored. Dillon, whose film Crash debuted at TIFF in 2004, made 1995's To Die For with Nicole Kidman in and around Toronto.
