As if it weren’t cool enough that Lindsay Lohan was going to get to be in a film with John Travolta, the movie biography of John Gotti has just cast an even bigger star: Al Pacino. Â Pacino is slated to take on the role of Neil Dellacroce, a colleague of Gotti’s who had many ties to the Gambino crime family.
Although this means that Pacino is not in one of the lead roles, Dellacroce is still an important figure in Gotti’s life, so hopefully this means mare than a little screen time for Pacino. Â He has tended toward overacting in recent projects, but he’s still one of the finest actors out there for my money, and I’d pay to see any movie he’s in, even if it does have Lindsay Lohan in it.
The upcoming film about the life of John Gotti, starring John Travolta as the man himself, had Nick Cassavetes attached to it as director, but sadly Cassavetes has had to pull out of the project for scheduling reasons.
Just when you thought you’d never have to see another film with Lindsay Lohan in it, along comes Victoria Gotti to say that she wants Lindsay Lohan to play her in the upcoming film about John Gotti’s life. Â Lindsay is currently the frontrunner for the role, beating out Hollywood A-listers like Blake Lively and Sienna Miller, and frankly, she does have the perfect look to play Gotti’s daughter.
