Emmanuelle Chriqui Joins 13 Tzameti Remake

Emmanuelle Chriqui, who starred opposite Adam Sandler in You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, is joining the cast of Gela Babluani’s 13, a remake of his French thriller 13 Tzameti.

The actress joins the previously cast Sam Riley, Jason Statham, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Ray Liotta, David Zayas, Ray Winstone and Mickey Rourke

The 2005 original was the feature directorial debut of Babluani. It centered on a destitute immigrant worker who steals an envelope containing instructions for a mysterious job that could pay out a fortune. Following the instructions, the young man unwittingly becomes trapped in a dark and dangerous situation.

The remake centers on a young man who is forced to participate in a high-stakes game of Russian Roulette where wealthy gamblers bet on human lives.

13 will hit theaters in 2010.
