Before that, the two legends were brought together on screen the first time for Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather II in 1974. Now you may look forward to de Niro and Pacino sharing screen space in a Jon Avnet film, Righteous Kill.
Al and Bob, as they are known in Hollywood, find themselves on the same side of the law — the right side — as they play detectives and long-time partners of the NYPD in a cop thriller. Individually, they have played cops, criminals, murderers, fathers — but never together. The writer of the film, Russell Gewirtz, said, “As the script made its way to Jon Avnet and then to de Niro, that’s when I knew we had a movie. When Pacino was on board, I knew we had an event.”
