MTV is reporting that Nicolas Cage is preparing to team with Brian DePalma for The Untouchables: Capone Rising, a prequel to 1987 classic The Untouchables.
Although we're none too sure about that subtitle, the idea of Cage playing a younger version of the crime boss portrayed in the original by Robert De Niro is pretty exciting. Cage isn't know for holding back on the gesticulation and facial histrionics and this could be a role that perfectly suits them.
Photography is set to start in October.
