Pacino to Replace DeNiro on Son of No One

In my younger days I would often mistake Robert DiNiro and Al Pacino. But even once I turned 14 and learned how to tell them apart, I still found there to be a great deal of crossover between the two. I often joked that if you couldn’t get DeNiro for the gig, you could just hire Pacino instead… well it appears that has come true.

The film Son of No One was to star DeNiro but for reasons unexplained he has bowed out of participating and to replace him they have recruited Al Pacino.

ScreenRant quotes:

“ Son of No One centers on a young cop who is assigned to a precinct in the working class neighborhood where he grew up, with an old secret surfacing and threatening to destroy his life and family.”

Dear John star Channing Tatum is being chased down for the “young cop” in the New York-based film, while the cast is also likely to be filled out by Terrence Howard, Ray Liotta and “Mrs. Tom Cruise” Katie Holmes.

I don’t think this replacement will hinder or assist the film in any way. Its a suitable replacement, like getting Jesse Essenberg to replace Michael Cera. Ok, they are closer in resemblance than Rob and Al ever were.
