Jamie is echt wel 1 van de betere zwarte acteurs : Ray, Dreamgirls, Collateral, Ali, Jarhead...
"You see those two icons onscreen together for virtually the whole film," Lerner said at his Festival de Cannes offices, "(something) never seen before in the history of cinema. It's one of the hardest deals we've ever done to put these two actors together."
De Niro, Pacino film at Norwalk police pistol range
NORWALK - Superstars Robert De Niro and Al Pacino walked into the Norwalk police headquarters yesterday for a 10-hour shoot in the pistol range.
Each was greeted by Police Chief Harry Rilling after arriving in separate vehicles just after 1 p.m.
As De Niro, 64, star of "Taxi Driver," "The Godfather II" and "Goodfellas," made his way through the glass doors, Maria Rodriquez was stunned.
"I can't believe it," said the Norwalk woman, who was in the front lobby waiting to be fingerprinted for a volunteer position with Norwalk schools. "I just saw Robert De Niro. I'm such a big fan of his."
The Oscar-winning actors were at police headquarters to film a few minutes of the opening sequence in "Righteous Kill," a $50 million independent film about two New York City detectives, played by De Niro and Pacino, 67, who are tracking a serial killer.
Yesterday's filming will show them going head-to-head during target practice at a pistol range set in New York City.
The characters run, liftweights and playbasketball "to show the competitive spirit of these two guys," producer Rob Cowan said.
During their long careers, the two actors have shared only two scenes, in the 1995 thriller "Heat."
The pairing of De Niro and Pacino, who starred in "Scarface," "Donnie Brasco," "The Godfather" movies and "Dog Day Afternoon," will be "historic," Cowan said.
"It is fun to watch them. . . . They really like playing off of each other," Cowan said.
The film, which also shot scenes in Bridgeport and New Haven and will move to Stamford soon, should be in theaters in the spring, he said.
"Righteous Kill" is about the 10th movie shot in Norwalk this year, said Tad Diesel, city marketing and business director.
Norwalk and other Fairfield County municipalities have become filming centers after a state incentive program began in July 2006.
The initiative offers filmmakers 30 percent tax credits for productions that cost $50,000 or more.
Films starring Martin Lawrence, Raven, Steven Seagal, Hilary Swank, Matthew Perry, John Travolta and Robin Williams have come to Norwalk since the tax incentive program began.
Rilling said Pacino and De Niro were gracious and spent time meeting Mayor Richard Moccia, Common Council members Herb Grant and Michael Coffey, and Diesel between scenes.
During the afternoon, Moccia, an avowed film buff who has committed a few lines of "The Godfather" to memory, presented Pacino and De Niro with keys to the city.
"It is a good feeling from the business point of view, and film people who come in have nice things to say about Norwalk employees," Moccia said after posing for pictures with the stars. "I'm happy I had that opportunity. It is one of the easier parts to being mayor."
"It is exciting to have actors of their caliber here," Rilling said.
De Niro and Pacino were given a private room where they could practice their lines between scenes, Rilling said.
The production company, which had 150 people at the police station yesterday, will return to film scenes at state Superior Court in Norwalk depicting an internal affairs investigation held for a police shooting, Cowan said.
"The police have been great," he said. "It is not very easy when a film company takes over the place."
50 Cent Attacks Co-star
LOS ANGELES, CA Thursday Oct.18.2007 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Rapper 50 Cent attacked a co-star on the set of his new movie "Righteous Kill," according to reports. The hip-hop star allegedly got into a fight with actor Frank John Hughes after he was confronted about not knowing his lines.
50 Cent was apparently beating Hughes so viciously, production staff called for paramedic's assistance in pulling him off.
A witness said,"The paramedics looked at Frank and he's OK. It's everyone else here that's still shaken up. ... No one is trying to get on (50 Cent's) bad side."
