Capone rising - aggiornamenti sulla produzione, Gerry 'intoccabile'?

Bè...dall'aspetto mi sembra quasi perfetto! una reincarnazione?

Dunque qui c'è un aggiornamento che prevede l'inizio delle riprese nel 2009(cui seguirà quindi una post produzione e distribuzione databile al 2010 - 11)

So far Gerard Butler is the only actor to be confirmed although rumours persist about the casting of James Gandolfini, of Sopranos fame, as Capone. This would seem a strange choice to some but Gandolfini is probably no less different in appearance to Capone than De Niro was when he played the part in De Palma's original film. Previously producer Art Linson was said to be negotiating with Nicolas Cage, who was set to take the lead but he had to drop out because of schedule problems. Also, Joaquin Phoenix has been suggested in a great many forums. There have also been persistent rumours that Robert De Niro will star as Chicago mayor, William Thompson.
(Cast Summary)

Gerard Butler ... Jimmy Malone
James Gandolfini (Rumoured) ... Al Capone
Robert De Niro (Rumoured) ... William Hale Thompson

We also understand that Paramount have put the release date back to 2009 as it was originally going to be released in the Autumn of 2008. However, due to arguments over the rights to the project the film may not be completed until 2010-2011.

Could Brian De Palma's The Untouchables: Capone Rising, the sequel to The Untouchables, be in a bit of trouble? Well it certainly looks like it has been struggling to get made for some time now, and the latest word is that it's looking as though it could be taking a back seat for another project.

Now this isn't just idle rumour, this is coming from the Director himself, Brian De Palma.

According to the Movie Geeks United podcast through Jo Blo De Palma said:


“We are still trying to cast this. We’ve had this together with a bunch of different actors over the last couple of years and things keep on falling in and out. I don’t know if it’s going to pull itself together soon enough for me to shoot next year, because I have to shoot it in the wintertime because there’s a Valentine’s Day massacre that’s gotta be done in the cold in February. If we don’t get it together in the next month or so, I’m going to go off and do something else.”

I'm really torn on whether this is good news or not. On the first hand I don't think that you can create a sequel of comparable power as The Untouchables, but then there's the fact that Brian De Palma is helming it, and since he made the first, maybe there's a chance he could do it.

I'm really not sure, but with the problems he's having getting it together, maybe waiting for the right actors is the best thing to do.
