A little while back we reported that Nicholas Cage would star as Al Capone in The Untouchables: Capone Rising. Now we get news that Gerard Butler of “300″ would join Cage in the Untouchables prequel.
Butler made a brief appearance at the Cannes film festival and let people know how he would appear in the Untouchables alongside Cage and also how much he thinks the script is awesome. Hopefully it lives up to it’s original although I am unsure how good Cage could be at playing a gangster.
My prediction is he will play as Jimmy Malone the role that won Sean Connery an academy award for it. I was hoping that Connery rejoined to play Jimmy but he never did. I guess the next big role in the Untouchable is Malone after Capone, we will see how it all turns out.
