Director Brian De Palma has cast actor Gerard "300" Butler to play 'Jimmy Malone', a character originated by Sean Connery, for his developing feature "Untouchables 2".De Palma also wants the sequel to keep as close to his original 1987 film as possible.
"I would like to use a lot of the original music ...and the original locations in Chicago," he said.
But he still hasn't found a new actor to play 'Al Capone', previously played by Robert De Niro in a fat-suit.
"You've got to have that street animal sexuality," he said about re-casting Chicago's prohibition gangster boss 'Scarface Al'.
Memo to Brian: Oscar time for James Gandolfini...
