Cool News
If it wasn't cool enough seeing De Niro and Pacino teaming up for RIGHTEOUS KILL, now they've got a great female lead!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We've talked about this film here before... how can we not? It's a story about two New York cops chasing down a serial killer... and those cops are being played by Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. Directed by Jon Avnet from a script by INSIDE MAN's Russell Gewirtz. Okay, so exciting.
There's a female lead that just got filled by the lovely and talented Carla Gugino, who will play a crime scene investigator who ends up in a relationship with De Niro's character, the ol' dog.
I like it so far. This could be incredibly great or it could be a big, disappointing trainwreck. I have a lot of faith in those involved, though, and seeing them all collaborate on a story like this has me excited.

oh so beautiful, and yet oh so disgusting...

that she was. STARSCREAM

But how 'bout some JLA talkback, guys? You're beginning to look irrelevant.

-
Gugino, DeNiro, Pacino - oh my.
-
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Deniro and Pacino have to be pushing 60 now, if not completely past that, right?
If they're detectives, they'd have one foot in retirement and about four toes pointed at the exit door. -
She is way too talented to be doing DTV shit or any awful shit with Robert Rodriguez. She was waaay better than JLO as Karen Sisco in the series, and deserves to be in first class projects like this or Watchmen... Way to go, Carla!!
-
I almost forgot...
-
So I have heard.
-
DeNiro played Gugino's dad in that movie. Like, ewwww!
-
She's got a hot mouth.
-
Only in Hollywood, kids...
-
Pacino will shout and wave his arms
Deniro will squint a lot
and Gugino will show her ass!!
Still, this should be a great flick though! -
...is sexy as hell. I only watched SIN CITY again this morning. Her body gets me everytime.............................................................................................................................sorry, day dreaming.
-
The guy is an unknown in this field... I'd rather another director... but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt from this moment on... lets see what happens...
-
That's plausible. Are they gonna show Pacino take the viagra or will that be implied?
-
50 Cent is in this. It will, therefore, be awful. He's a black hole of charisma. He has no presence whatsoever.
-
I hope to god they are going the CG mo cap route and I really really hope it doesnt funck around with the sequel to Superman Returns or the new continuity of Batman.
Its been a scary week, Superman Returns deserves a sequel or 2, I bought into Superman Returns not only as a purely stand alone film but a re-introduction to a character I loved as a kid, we have had the starter now I want the main course!! -
and this Movie was just awful (saw it at Fantasy Filmfest Berlin) showing her with tired, aged looks, obviously bored like the audience of this lousy Lucy Liu-Shit (even showing her (Liu) naked helped NOTHING).
-
might be the only way to do it.
-
Completely ruined him as a tough guy for me.
-
Even though I'm not convinced that this is going to happen with this movie - I'm not saying that it's not a great idea. In fact, this may be the way that we could eventually see some serious hardcore DC stories realized, like Kingdom Come, Crisis on Infinite Earths, etc...fanboy dreams, I know...BUT, I think that mo-cap is the only way that we'll ever get to that point.
-
. . . and then you look at Avnet's resume and the wind is out of the sails.
-
Because I'm not sure how that would work. Having them both onscreen for that short time in Heat was great, but having them sharing screentime for a whole movie...might be a horrible overacting, shitfest.
-
And from what Im hearing on other movie/comic book websites is that they havent even tied down an effects house?
If they want to start production early 08 for a summer 09 release there gonna have to clone a shit load of Doug Smiths!! -
See if I'm not right.
-
I adore DeNiro but man he's determined with every role he takes to test the limits of my ability to look past what he's done of late back to the good work (not even the great, just good would be nice). And Avnet is a terrible director, he made snore-fest rom drama Up Close & Personal and the dull as they come "thriller" Red Corner. I thought Inside Man was pretty good and DeNiro and Pacino will get me in but i'm prepared for the worst cause it's bound to come.
-
Tried to start something in the Mikey Bay thread but no dice. Now Mr Mytzleplyk (not looking that one up) can truly be done in the manner he deserves! And Batfink! And hell, the Harlem Globetrotters!
-
He's usually pretty restrained.
-
But that's just cuz DeNiro's last good movie was Ronin and that's a hella long time ago.
-
a) be careful with your JLA talk, this is AICN and remember they are notorious for pulling talkbacks or banning people who aren't even remotly on subject or who hijack a talkback, see the LOST incident in May for a reminder of that. I say this not to spoil your discussion but as a word of warning to my fellow Talkback Fiendsb)Carla Guigno is most assuradly hot. I caught a little bit of Spy Kids 3 the other dya as I was flipping through channels and she is hot in that, in everything she does, but her with DeNiro and/or Pacino is just creepy, as someone above mentioned, DeNiro played her dad in a previous movie, so yeah just kinda creepy.
-
Getting to mount one of the BEST asses in Hollywood is a plus.
I bet he doesnt even need to pop his lil blue pill for that scene.
-
...is how Merrick's headline should read.
-
Hey! So that means more pointless 'Crash' type moments about ethnic tensions? More random jokes about Albanians? More of the worst police work on film? More wacky subplots about a lazy guy crashing on the hero's couch? More obvious "twist" action? Another character like Jodie Foster's who contributed nothing to the plot? Another hero who doesn't even seem to care about the plot? More tasteless crass humourizing about a hostage's rack? More WWII stuff that doesn't make sense in a film set in present day?I can't wait! I think I've got my worst script of next year already picked out!
-
Never gonna top Heat. Jon Avnet is no Michael Mann.
-
I hope Avnet taps back into that mode.
I'm actually more excited to see these to actors together this late in their career. It'll be interesting to see if they show us a different older side of them we haven't seen yet. Maybe spark a little of their younger self but in context to who they are now. Hopefully it'll be like discovering these two old actors as if they were fresh and new to the scene.
Hopefully it won't be Tango and Cash. -
..chicks dig the mole. What would've been the age difference when he made that flick with Uma Thurman? DeNiro's been coasting on a handful of great performances and hasn't done anything of note lately. Showtime? Moose & Squirrel? Fock the Parents? Of course any actors would give their left nut to have the classic roles DeNiro has under his belt. Oh, and two NY cops on the trail of a serial killer? Hope something original can be weaved from that old plotline.
-
Saw it Monday. The movie was great. If you haven't seen it, check it out now.
-
I will stay on topic, kind of!
Carla Gugino is on a roll at the moment and she is hot!
Why not use her for Mo Cap on the JLA film?? Wonder woman perhaps?
And how about Pacino, im not sure but has he done any voice work??
What JLA character could he lend his voice to?
As for Deniro, he should sit it out as he was in Shark Tale!
Hi half Vader glad you decided to join the party.
Im not wanting to piss off any of the AICN staff, but please come on its been a mega geek week with all this JLA talk and trying to gleam a comment from you guys is like dry humping a piece of 2 by 4, then having it not call you in the morning! -
Ten years ago De Niro and Pacino in one film would've had me drooling with anticipation but now...yawn. They're too old and so is the plotline. Wasted opportunity. This is going to suck.
-
the "crazy twist" ending has one of the three mains being the killer. Wow, earth shattering... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
They're all the serial killer.
-
happenstance.
The other twist... hopefully the movie will be good. -
and boyblue, but man the trolls on here lately seem to be getting a free ride (did they ban the hahahahaha troll yet?), and there's no thread up yet so... Anyway yes. That Boy's Life thing makes it a bit creepy in some weird fiction revisionist history sorta way!
-
...from scenery injestion.
-
...just sayin'.
-
established that women were gross? Another Talkback about "them" will just encourage sleaze.
PS: If you would like to send me a picture or drawing of your cock - buffywretling@hotmale.com . We will grade it accordingly.. -
Out here in Hollyweird, I see her hiking all the time at Runyon Canyon. The face looks like it needs help gettting camera ready, but hte body is kicking. Really tight.
-
and no one cares.
Female lead? After Al and Robert? They could teach a Llama to walk on it's hind legs, suck cock, then knit a tea cosy and it still wouldn't get as much attention.
< -
Yeah, I'd pump her up with regular
-
I could see him pulling that line on Gugino, only 'cause he has got to be twenty-five years older than her..."Lady, lick my old, flabby balls. Yeah, like that. Sorry for all the grey pubes."

They just need one more actor whose name ends in "o"...
by mrmysteryguest
Lou Ferrigno?
-
It's not "THE Inside Man". Just "Inside Man". You already lost credibility with your headline. (Although I agree on the Jodie Foster character.)
-
i think i would be mored pumped for this if it was a different director. Maybe del toro or PTA or even Mann again. Fincher would be my top pick. But we'll have to see. I'm still looking forward to it.
-
Ah yes, from it's STELLAR 19-week CRAWL to $200 million dollars, right?
JLA won't be mo-cap. The OMACS in the script, however, WILL be. Oh, and to stay "on-topic", Carla G. is Super Sexy. -
Fuck Al Pacino & De Niro, I'll see anything as long as it has Carla Gugino in it! :)
-
Wow, 19 weeks to reach 200 million, omg that must mean the film sucked, god how stupid do I feel liking a film that took 19 weeks to haul in 200 million dollars!!
Wow Blade Runner too, that tanked on release so that must be crap, I better cancel my preorder for the new Deckard briefcase dvd release, what was I thinking!!
If you didnt like the film fair play, to dislike it for its gross, shame on you!
Oh and i totaly agree Gugino will turn out to be the killer! -
It can't be any worse than Jeff Daniels' twist in Blood Work. Also I loved her scenes in Sin City. We need more nudity in modern films.
-
WTF did Jodie Foster, the Nazis, and NYC racial tension have to do with anything?
-
Jeez, between this and Indiana Jones, how many of these old fuckers are they going to parade around like they can still run a 40 yard dash or see without bi-focals... This would have been cool about 10 years ago.. Like right after "Heat."
-
Singerman Repugnant ONLY resonated with the small population of brain-dead "metro's" out there. You and your "ilk".
But the 3rd SLOWEST movie to reach $200 million dollars EVER, was the WORST thing to happen to Superman since Nuclear Man. Unless you enjoy watching someone "peep" on his "crush" for over 2 hours? And if you DO, says a lot about YOU....
Carla G. should be Lois, if she's used in the JLA LIVE ACTION flick. She'll be the first REAL woman to play Lois on the big screen since Margot Kidder. -
An entire movie with Al and Mr. D.
That scene in HEAT was such a tease.
That'd be funny if this new movie, the characters never actually meet each other.
Lol. That would be the ultimate sucker punch.
Seriously tho. I don't care who is directing this. Just to see these two titans go at it again had me hooked. -
Im sorry "Brain dead Metro" "ilk"??
Cant anyone enjoy a good film these days and talk about it online with out being trolled by some fricking moron who sounds like he wont see a film unless its a box office hit!! What a cunt!! go watch X-Men 3 - the last brain cell!
I still think its good news that DeNiro is doing a straight film rather than a comedy, I pray it doesnt turn out like Hide and Seek!!
-
Is it yay or nay?
You must admit that Live action is a real stupid idea, as it will infringe the work done by Singer and Nolan, and confuse the non geek public!
Oh and Righteous Kill, sounds cool but am I right in thinking 50 Cent is in this?? NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! -
Tremendous screenplay. So much depth you don't normally get. Phenomenal for a first-timer, should have gotten an Oscar nomination.
-
I mean, Jon Avnet? I like that Heat is the only film where we get to see these two legends share the screen. Makes it special and gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling in my tummy. This film might spoil that and make me cry...
-
"Good film"?? yeah, just when I thought you were JUST a "brain dead metro". Feel free to "enjoy" Singerman Repugnant with the other Singertologists. The good news is, Singer ISN'T going to get to make a sequel to his turd-fest. Smart people win! Carla G. needs to continue doing nudity in films. I approve....
-
"Who-Ah! I play them SAME guy...in every movie! Who-Ah!
I scream in a scratchy voice! Who-Ah! I corrupt a young leading man! Who-Ah!" Why does everyone think this guy is so great? I think we've been told he's supposed to be great, so people give him the benefit of the doubt. His success has more to do with movie selection and projects than his ability. It must be nice making millions to play yourself. -
He oughta be in this movie! :)
-
Just in the last decade : DONNIE BRASCO, THE INSIDER, INSOMNIA, ANGELS IN AMERICA, MERCHANT OF VENICE. How is that "playing yourself"?
Anybody check out the Pacino dvd set "An Actor's Vision"? Greaaaaaat stuff.
