Nicholas Cage Drops Role of Al CaponeMay 25th, 2007 in Actors, Drama, Movies |

No replacement for Cage has been announced yet, but Gerard Butler remains committed to the project. “Capone Rising” is written by Brian Koppelman and David Levien. The film chronicals Capone’s rise to power in the mob world, and how his relationship with detective (and nemesis) Jimmy Malone first began.
