Great news from Variety. Nicolas Cage has been forced to drop out of the upcoming Untouchables prequel because of scheduling difficulties. Praise the lord! The search is on once again for director Brian De Palma to find someone who could play a young Al Capone. Gerard Butler is still on board as Irish Cop Jimmy Malone. Any thoughts on who could replace Cage then? I like the idea of Mark Ruffalo after his superb turn in Zodiac... they could do a lot worse than him. You always felt a little on edge around him, like he was about to explode and that's Al Capone to me.
