Despite word that he’d be following noir drama The Black Dahlia with serial killer thriller Toyer (which would see Colin Firth getting violent as a Hannibal Lecter-alike charming maniac), De Palma now apparently plans to start work on The Untouchables: Capone Rising next June.
Brian Koppelman and David Levien have written a script that sees the Chicago mob boss ascending to the throne of the most dangerous man in the city. And we’re also introduced to Jimmy Malone – as played in the first movie by Sean Connery – a dirty cop in a city swimming with them. Malone’s first encounter with Capone’s power makes him realise that perhaps there is a way to fight crime without breaking the law – and he changes his ways. Who says crime bosses can’t be moral guardians, eh?
We doubt Shir Shean will be making a repeat appearance, even if he does try to convince De Palma that he can play “young”, but you never know
