Upcoming Pacino project, CITY BY THE SEA

Here's a project that I haven't heard all that much about, but that I've been digging around a bit on. It's called CITY BY THE SEA, and right now Michael Caton-Jones is attached to direct. Michael's one of them directors that's had a bit of a spotty record, but I think his good, so far, out shines the disappointments. I mean... I really dug MEMPHIS BELLE, ROB ROY, THIS BOY'S LIFE and even DOC HOLLYWOOD. Whereas I think his THE JACKAL really really stunk it up, though I believe that project was one of those.... "WHY THE HELL IS THIS BEING REMADE" projects that always stuns me.

Anyways, it's over there at them wacky Warner Brothers, and all I know is that Al Pacino plays a New York homicide detective (Vincent Lamarca) who's son is accused of being a cop killer. Naturally he wants to find his brat before other, less friendly cops come down on the kid. Apparently the kid is a bit freaked on drugs, been one of them troubled youths we hear so much about. I like Al Pacino as a cop movies (and the as gangster movies) and it's been a few years since the last one. Right? Let's see was it HEAT? Was that the last one? I don't know, but this seems like a story that Al can sink his teeth into, alot will just depend on the kid, he's in his late teens/early twenties... So it could be anyone from Leo to Josh Hartnett... Who knows, eh? So what have you folks heard about this one?
