Considering Al Pacino has been a bit more restrained when picking scripts compared to his contemporary Robert De Niro, we can actually get excited when a new project of his rolls around. That said, we'll see what he does with "88 Minutes," where Pacino plays a forensic psychiatrist who's given 88 minutes to avoid his own murder.

Pacino Paints Dali's Picture, Eyes French Emperor Role

Posted 6/12/07 5:21 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News


Four decades after Al Pacino's intense commitment to realism gave us the instant cop classic "Serpico," the cinematic superstar is once again preparing to step into the skin of a real-life character.

"I really like that Salvador Dali idea," the gravelly-voiced Pacino said recently when asked about "Dali and I," the biopic currently being prepared by the seven-time Oscar nominee. "I really feel that's a place I would like to get myself around to playing."

The movie will reunite Pacino with his "S1m0ne" co-collaborator, hopefully yielding results more along the lines of "Lord of War" and "Gattaca" than their 2002 virtual-actor dud. "I read Andrew Niccols' script," said the "Godfather" veteran. "It's a terrific script, and I'm hoping one day to do that. That's a role I've been wanting to play for a while, and I think it's coming." Read More...
