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.
