I was all excited about the possibility and then I saw the 4th billed actor....

Let's just hope he's one of those pushed on names that gets killed in the first act of the movie.
I predict this movie sucking very hard.
I agree with this guy:
The only way I'll like 50 in it, is if at the beginning of the movie, Deniro and Pacino are in on a drug bust together, 50 cent pops out of the closet with a 9mm and Pacino gives him a shotgun blast to the face. Then another to the balls for good measure. Then Deniro says something funny. That would be satisfying.
Righteous Kill is a serial killer thriller that will star Robert De Niro, Al Pacino.[1] and Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, who will play a drug dealer.[2] It will be directed by Jon Avnet.[3] The film is being written by Russell Gewirtz who previously scripted Inside Man and will be produced by Randall Emmett and Avi Lerner.[1] The plot will revolve around police investigators hunting a serial killer, with the early twist being (from the first scene) that one of them is the killer in question.[1] Righteous Kill will have a budget of $60 million and be an independent production put together by Nu Image's Millennium Films and Emmett/Furla Films. [3] De Niro and Pacino will appear onscreen together in the same film for only the second time.[3] The film is set to begin shooting August 2007 in New York and Bridgeport, Connecticut.[3]
Family Room Entertainment, stock ticker (FMLY) , is associated with the production of this film.[3]
Bernie Mack stand-in and acting newcomer Eric “1G” Garner of Las Vegas is also set to play a supporting role in this film.

stretch
thats a lame movie poster. no where for this movie to go but up!
I just hope it is better than Heat.
if it was better than heat then it'd be a masterpiece because heat was fuckin amazing.
That movie was fucking horrible. It was way overhyped. Cut an hour from Heat and it may have been a good movie. The shootout scene saved it from being one of the worst movies ever.
Have faith.
Like I said, it might just be one of those cases where they hope to drag in the negro demographic with 50cent in the movie, but having such greatness like DeNiro and Pacino in it will mostly make it a movie that people who watch good movies will aprreciate. His name is just in it to probably get the SOUL PLANE fans to shell out $11 and buy some tickets. Im sure they'll kill him off in like the 1st act and thats it. I mean remember how Traci Lords was cast in BLADE ?? She was killed off in the first 11 minutes. What about DMX in Romeo Must Die ?? He was hardly in it. Like 5 minutes in one scene, then another 8 minutes in another and boom....SHOT DOWN.
Heat's a good movie, but never been my cup of tea, I put it up there with Point Break,an entertaining ok movie with one truely amazing action scene which makes up for everything.

I completely disagree, Heat is a masterpiece and if anything the shootout is a bit too long to handle.
