Julia Roberts' brother to make a major comeback

Washington, Mar 18 (ANI): Hollywood actress Julia Roberts' brother, Eric, is all set to make a major comeback with a role in Mickey Rourke's forthcoming flick.

He has begun shooting for his comeback film 'The Expendables', which will feature him opposite his old pal Sylvester Stallone.

Eric's pal Rourke announced at the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, California, that his friend deserved "a second chance".

"I wish there would be one god damned filmmaker in this room that would let him fly, because the man is something else," Contactmusic quoted Rourke as saying at the award event.

Meanwhile, Eric has also landed a pivotal role in Howl, the Allen Ginsberg biopic featuring James Franco as the controversial poet. (ANI)
