Righteous Kill fills out it's cast

Righteous Kill would suggest that the cop thriller is not only going to be centered on the pairing of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino but there's going to be some material for the supporting characters too. We already know that 50 Cent, Donnie Wahlberg and Carla Gugino will be appearing in the film but there's a few more names released in a press release today that are new to us. They are... John Leguizamo, Brian Dennehy, Dan Futterman, Trilby Glover and bizarrely professional skateboarder Rob Drydek.

Leguizamo (Moulin Rouge!) plays a cop in the NYPD who butts heads with Pacino and De Niro as they search for a serial killer. Dennehy (Showtime's "Death of a Salesman," Assault on Precinct 13) takes on the role of their captain. Futterman (A Mighty Heart) and Glover (The Starter Wife) both play attorneys, and Dyrdek (MTV's "Rob and Big") a delinquent, who crosses paths with the detectives during their investigations.

Filming begins tomorrow in New York and Connecticut from director Jon Avnet from a script by Russell Gerwitz. Here's hoping the script for this is a good one and has enough range for De Niro and Pacino to show us why they are still two of the best around. They have both done so much crap over the last ten years, I think both guys want to prove something to themselves and show us that they still have it. I believe in them but again, the script must be there otherwise we won't care. source - coming soon
