Nicolas Cage NOT playing Al Capone...

[AndyDursin]

...a sigh of relief, no?

Gerald Butler is playing the younger Sean Connery apparently.

As discussed in today’s Caffeinated Clint, Nicolas Cage has opted not to ...in “The Untouchables” prequel after all.

The “Ghost Rider” star is citing a scheduling conflict, says Variety.

Gerard Butler ("300") is set for the part of Jimmy Malone, played by Sean Connery in the original. Cage would have played the young Capone.

Interestingly enough, Cage doesn’t have anything lined up after his current movie “National Treasure 2”, so this ‘scheduling conflict’ excuse sounds a bit suss.

Sean Penn was once mooted for the Capone role in the prequel. Maybe they'll go back to him?

Yeah, I liked it well enough myself, but...*shrugs*

I wonder what this sequel will even be about?

I would think there are plenty of other "American history" subjects Cage would get involved in. I liked that aspect of the movie a great deal.

True. I hope it's good, in any event.
