Deadline has announced that Face/Off star Nicolas Cage and director John Woo are reuniting for the crime biopic Gambino based on New York crime kingpin Carlo Gambino.
The movie will apparently follow Cage’s Carlo Gambino, a butcher’s son from Sicily, who rules New York’s underworld with quiet authority. But when his death sends shockwaves through the city, Pulitzer-winning journalist Jimmy Breslin follows the trail he left behind to uncover the man beneath the legend. Through the voices of those who loved him and those who feared him, Breslin peels back the composure that masked Gambino’s ruthlessness, revealing how this outsider rose to redefine power, loyalty and the American dream.
I have to be honest, this doesn’t sound all that exciting as I’m generally not a fan of biopics, but hopefully there is still some gunplay and slow motion doves.
