Reportedly, Milo Gibson will portray the character of infamous gangster Al Capone, alongside Sean Faris, Jamie Lynn Sigler, and Peter Facinelli.
The movie is set during the 1920s gangland wars in the city.
Timothy Woodward Jr. is directing it for his Status Media & Entertainment banner.
The story revolves around the bloody wars between the Italian and Irish mobs as Capone and his right hand man “Machine Gun” Jack McGurn (Faris) battle Bugs Moran (Facinelli), culminating in the famous St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. The real-life event took place on February 14, 1929 and seven men died in the attack thought to be ordered by Capone. Sigler plays famous flapper dancer Lulu Rolfe, and love interest to amateur boxer-turned-mobster McGurn. The film comes thirty years after Robert De Nero played Capone in The Untouchables. The flick is currently in production. —ANI
