De Niro and Pacino Reunite for Righteous Kill

[SupaFresh208]

Some time ago I watched Get Rich or Die Trying just for fun with some friends. We turned it off after 20 minutes. It is so absurdly bad.

I felt the same after watching 8mile, but ill check this movie out I heard 50 has been taking some acting classes so we'll see how this pans out.

The combined forces of DeNiro, Pacino, Nicholson and raised-from-the-grave Marlon Brando couldn't teach Fiddy to convincingly...do anything...like walking down the street.

Robert De Niro and Al Pacino will team for the second time in Righteous Kill, a $60 million independent production put together by Nu Image's Millennium Films and Emmett/Furla Films, reports Variety.

Shooting will begin August 6 in Connecticut, with some work in Chicago to follow. The two stars play cops chasing a serial killer. Jon Avnet will direct and produce and the script is by Inside Man screenwriter Russell Gewirtz.

"This is an event in world history," Nu Image's Avi Lerner said. "They were in two scenes in 'Heat.' In this movie, they are in the whole thing together."

50 Cent Joins De Niro, Pacino in 'Righteous Kill'

Overture Films has picked up all North American rights to Righteous Kill, a $60 million thriller starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as two detectives tracking a serial killer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Rapper 50 Cent is in final negotiations to co-star as a drug dealer who helps the detectives with their investigation. Director Jon Avnet is set to begin principal photography in Bridgeport, Conn., and New York in September. Russell Gewirtz ("Inside Man," "Labyrinth") is writing the screenplay, which has De Niro and Pacino onscreen together for nearly the entire film. The two longtime friends shared no screen time in 1974's "The Godfather: Part II" and only one scene in 1995's "Heat."

50 cent is a person I cant stand for the most part but him being in the movie will have no affect on the overall outcome.

 

[Obsidian]

He plays a drug dealer. Go figure.

Sure they were in Godfather II together, but never at the same time. Sure they were in Heat together, but only two scenes. Now comes the ultimate team-up of all time.

DeNiro. Pacino. Righteous Kill. Which has the two as cops trying to resolve issues between themselves while trying to catch a serial killer.

Now we get a look at a promo poster for their flick:

The film, which also stars rapper 50 Cent, is directed by Jon Avnet and written by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man). Righteous Kill will hit theaters in 2008.

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

this could be one of the greatest films ever..for me anyway..these two seriously bubble on screen together.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

Bland poster. What is it supposed to be anyway?

 

[Hunter Rider]

^^Agreed,you have two of the biggest names in cinema history and THAT is the poster you come up with ?

 

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Donnie Wahlberg: Righteous Brother
Ex-New Kid goes Kill crazy with Pacino, De Niro.
by Stax



US, July 18, 2007 - Donnie Wahlberg has been cast opposite Al Pacino and Robert De Niro in the forthcoming crime drama Righteous Kill. The cast also includes rapper-actor Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson.

Wahlberg made the announcement during the TCA press tour for his upcoming Spike TV series The Kill Point, according to the actor's hometown paper The Boston Herald.

Wahlberg did not specify what his role was in Righteous Kill but his excitement was evident. "That's going to be a real challenge," Wahlberg said. "I get to work with two of the greatest actors and drive to Boston every night. We start shooting in September, so it will be like going to school for me with two fantastic teachers."

Since his days as one of the New Kids on the Block, Donnie Wahlberg has, like his brother Mark, carved out a career for himself as an actor. His credits include Saw II, Ransom, The Sixth Sense, the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers, and the short-lived but acclaimed TV series Boomtown.

 

[Hush]

I love both the actors and I can only imagine that if the two raise tension between each other it could be explosive on screen as far as making you feel for the character. I though Pacino was very good in Oceans 13 and De Niro kicked ass for his short role in The Good Shepard.

 

[Tempest19]

Well, 50 cent is the only bad news... I think Donnie Wahlberg is a GREAT actor!

 

[Dark Donnie]

Well, 50 cent is the only bad news... I think Donnie Wahlberg is a GREAT actor!

He was AMAZING in that 5 mintue scene in The Sixth Sense, I haven't seen a whole of other things hes done.

September 3, 2007


Golden Globe® winner Brian Dennehy is in negotiations to join newly added cast members John Leguizamo, Academy Award® nominee Dan Futterman, Trilby Glover and professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek in Righteous Kill, the Jon Avnet production which begins filming September 4th in Connecticut and New York.

This rounds out the cast which includes Academy Award® winners Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, 50 Cent, Carla Gugino and Donnie Wahlberg.

The film, which Avnet (Red Corner, Fried Green Tomatoes, Up Close and Personal) is helming based on a script by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man), follows long time police detectives, played by Pacino and De Niro, as they investigate a series of vigilante killings in New York City.

Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge!) plays a cop in the NYPD who butts heads with Pacino and De Niro as they search for a serial killer. Dennehy (Showtime's "Death of a Salesman," Assault on Precinct 13) takes on the role of their captain. Futterman (A Mighty Heart) and Glover (The Starter Wife) both play attorneys, and Dyrdek (MTV's "Rob and Big") a delinquent, who crosses paths with the detectives during their investigations.

The Nu Image/Millennium production will be distributed domestically by Overture Films. The film is produced by Jon Avnet, Avi Lerner, Alexandra Milchan, Daniel Rosenberg, Rob Cowan and Randall Emmett.
