Comingsoon.net graced everyone with a exclusive look at the poster for Paul’s upcoming project The Baytown Disco and we have the synopsis for the movie as well as the poster below. Click the poster for a larger view.

The rousing rebel spirit of a family of Southern thugs takes off at breakneck speed in “The Baytown Disco” — a wickedly playful, high-velocity action-comedy in which three infamously ruthless Alabama brothers find themselves on the wrong side of crooked cops, relentless Feds, mad mobsters, road pirates, tomahawk-wielding bikers, tricky femme fatales and an unforgettable cast of characters as colorful as they are lethal when they finally try to do a single good deed.

Academy Award® winner Billy Bob Thornton and Golden Globe winner Eva Longoria headline this wildly explosive, yet ultimately moving, tale of honor breaking out among thieves with madcap results. It all starts when the fetching Celeste (Longoria) has a falling out with her nefarious ex-husband Carlos (Thornton) who kidnaps her beloved son, Rob (Thomas Brodie Sangster). Knowing her ex can be a maniacal psychopath, not to mention a bit trigger-happy, she turns for help to the most bad-ass, lawless hit-man trio in Alabama: the Oodie Brothers.

Ringleader Brick (Clayne Crawford, “24,” “The Glades”), mute wrestling phenom Lincoln (Daniel Cudmore, “The Twilight Saga”), and the baby of the brothers, the kick-ass G.I. McQueen (Travis Fimmel, “The Beast”) are known for being mean as a bag of rattlesnakes –and measly kidnap rescues are not on their menu of services. But when Brick is unexpectedly moved by Celeste’s plight, what he thinks is going to be an easy smash-and-grab job turns out to be the most hair-raising and hilariously intense adventure of his and his brothers’ harrowing careers.

Suddenly the Oodies have their hometown Sheriff (Andre Braugher, “Men of a Certain Age,” “Salt”), in a tangle; a pesky DEA Agent (Paul Wesley, “Vampire Diaries”) on their trail, and Carlos and his heinous assortment of henchman out for their hides. With no one quite who or what they seem, they are headed for a showdown — and a shot at redemption — they never saw coming.

Paul Wesley is looking to show that he can do more than play a vampire on the small screen — he just signed on to play a very different sort of role in a new motion picture. According to a new report, the “Vampire Diaries” is set to play the role of an FBI agent in new project “The Baytown Disco” — which also features another TV star in “Desperate Housewives” actress Eva Longoria.

The plot of the movie revolves around three brothers who try to help a woman save her son from his abusive father — as for how Wesley’s character is going to be involved, he will be present to investigate what exactly goes down.

The project will likely debut in 2012, and it is not the only film coming up with a “TVD” connection — Nina Dobrev recently signed on to appear in “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” alongside Emma Watson. She is currrently shooting the role in Pittsburgh as her hit show is one hiatus until later in the summer.
