“Ness/Capone” Goes to Relativity

Grant Pierce Myers’s script for Ness/Capone finally has a home with Relativity. According to Deadline Hollywood, the film takes place during the 1920s (i.e. Prohibition Era) and shakes up the famous battle between Al Capone and Eliot Ness; Myers discovered that things went down much differently than in the Oscar-winning Brian DePalma film The Untouchables.


However, Warner Bros. has Cicero, yet another Capone-centric film, in the works; the studio also has Gangster Squad.

How do you feel about the sudden surge of gangster films getting the greenlight?
