Neither Al Pacino nor director Brian De Palma are the all-conquering film names they were when they teamed up for the classic remake Scarface in 1983, or when they also had success a decade later with Carlito’s Way. They’ll be hoping then that a reunion can do both of them a little good, as Screendaily reports that they’re reteaming for Retribution.
The movie is a remake of a 2003 Belgian thriller called The Memory Of A Killer, and focuses ‘on the story of a hitman and a cop who will go to any length to stop a Philadelphia child prostitution ring.’ However if this follows the story of the original, the thing that makes it a little different is that the hitman has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s (indeed the original title translates as The Alzheimer Case), which alters his worldview and make him reassess his past and his future.

After all, while many people insist they read all three books for the story, the copious amounts of explicitly detailed BDSM sex in the novels are what they’re best known for.
Back in August both Zachary Quinto and James Franco released a few pics of themselves on the set of their new movie, Michael, but it’s only now that we’re getting the first proper image from the film, which accompanies a 
Without the Minions, there’s a good chance Despicable Me wouldn’t have been the hit it was. If nothing else they’ve been a massive merchandising bonanza, so it’s not too much of a shock that the small, yellow oblongs are getting their own film.
Jake Gyllenhaal got some of the best notices of his career for the just released Nightcrawler (and not solely for his dramatic weight loss). It now looks like he’s interested in staying in morally ambiguous territory with The Man Who Made It Snow according to 
Henry Cavill can’t spend all his time wearing a large ‘S’ on his chest (well, I suppose he could, but he’d get a few funny looks), so he’s signed up to spend part of his time between Batman V Superman and Justice League starring in the action thriller Stratton.
