Al Pacino and Robert De Niro are making a movie together

[UZI Suicide]

I don't know if this was already a well known thing, but I was just browsing IMDB and came across t

his - Righteous Kill (2008)

 

So, yeah, De Niro and Pacino together. I instantly drew wood. Then I scrolled down a little and saw.. 50 FUCKING CENT? How in the hell, of all the talented black actors in the world, does 50 Cent end up in a movie with fucking De Niro and Pacino?

 

Obviously, I'm still looking forward to the movie, but damn, that sure is a kick in the nuts.

It won't be as good as Smoking Aces or Training Day! Looking at the credits I don't think I like the writer "Russell Gewirtz".

Why not? He's practically unknown. He did write a nice script for Inside Man though.

[At Home]

This movie's going to be awesome, except for 50 Cent.

 

Why.

[geniusMoment]

We'll see, I haven't liked Al's acting since he was great in Donnie Brasco.

He also wrote 2 episodes for the worst cop drama not named Cop Rock in Blind Justice!

You know I actually watched an episode or two of Cop Rock when it was rerun on the Trio channel and honestly, it wasn't that bad, just really bizarre. During the straight non-singing scenes, I'd go as far as to say it was a half decent cop show but once they started singing, it became really weird and just ruined the mood of the show.

 

 

As for the movie, I'm skeptical. I haven't really liked anything either actor has done in terms of dramatic movies (DeNiro's made one or two decent comedies) in the past decade.

50 Cent hasn't exactly helped a movie draw any money. The decision doesn't make any sense unless the casting director is in debt to Dr. Dre or something.

*Another movie together.

 

[King Kamala]

Well I don't think anybody here has said it's their first together.

 

 

Besides the draw in this one is going to be they're in it together for almost the whole movie not just a few scenes.

[Boon]

Just wanted to make sure everyone knows that they made a movie together, when they were both regularly turning out great performances, that had a very good supporting cast and an excellent gunfight/getaway scene.

Tru dat, didn't his 8 Mile ripoff "unofficial bio pic" bomb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430308/business and what's up with that movie he did with Samuel L. Jackson oh yeah it was only on 44 screens http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0763840/business.

I'm trying to work out of if I still give a shit about either Pachino or De Niro...

[Jingus]

Well, let's check IMDB:

 

Pacino: does his share of repetitive crap (The Recruit) but still tries to star in different types of roles and movies (Insomnia, Angels in America, The Merchant of Venice).

 

De Niro: hasn't had a great role since 1997. Constantly takes stupid comedies, forgettable thrillers, children's movies, and no-name foreign films. Has been killing his own reputation for years now.

 

 

But, considering that this is their first "real" movie together (the three minutes of combined footage in Heat doesn't really count), it's still got a little attraction.
