Legendary film composter Ennio Morriconne (THE UNTOUCHABLES, CINEMA PARADISO, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, A FISTFULL OF DOLLARS) will be re-teaming with Brian De Palma on the score for De Palma's upcoming UNTOUCHABLES sequel THE UNTOUCHABLES: CAPONE RISING.
Gerrard Butler (300) is playing Jimmy Malone, a role made famous by Sean Connery in the first film; the search is on for a new Elliot Ness and Al Capone. Brian Koppleman and David Levien (ROUNDERS, OCEANS 13) wrote the script, along with help from screenwriter David Rabe (CASUALTIES OF WAR). Production is set to start this fall for a Christmas 2008 release.
I love THE UNTOUCHABLES; it's one of De Palam's finest efforts. And I am totally down for a new gangster picture from De Palma. This film will focus on Ness and Caopone in their youth. Can't wait.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF MISSION TO MARS AND THE BLACK DAHLIA
Don't you ever, ever diss on De Palma again.
From the director of Scarface, The Untouchables, Casualties of War, Carrie, Carlito's Way, Body Double, Femme Fatale, Blow Out, and Dressed to Kill. In my opinion, that's one fine resume. He's made some bad films, yes, but so have other great filmmakers.
Even lousy De Palma (MISSION TO MARS, THE BLACK DAHLIA, and RAISING CAIN) have some things going for them. Hell, anyone who has SCARFACE, FEMME FATALE, CASUALTIES OF WAR, BODY DOUBLE, CARLITO'S WAY, and THE UNTOUCHABLES on their resume deserves some praise. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE is still a pretty damn good spy film as well.
