Al Pacino boards Dito Montiel's 'Son of No One'

Robert De Niro is out, and Al Pacino is in! No, this has nothing to do with a "Righteous Kill" sequel. This has to do with Dito Montiel's upcoming police thriller "Son of No One," which also stars Channing Tatum.

The Hollywood Reporter says Pacino has replaced De Niro in the film, about a young cop (Tatum) who gets into trouble after he ends up working at a precinct in the working class neighborhood he grew up in.

Terrence Howard, Ray Liotta and Katie Holmes are also in talks to star in the film, which Montiel wrote. His credits also include "A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints" and "Fighting," in which Tatum also starred.

As for Pacino, he recently starred in a couple of terrible films: "Righteous Kill" and "88 Minutes." His better recent one was "Ocean's Thirteen." He's gearing up for a role in "King Lear."
