The Untouchables: Capone Rising is a prequel to director Brian De Palma's earlier film The Untouchables. It tells the story of Al Capone's arrival in Chicago, Illinois and his dealings with cop Jimmy Malone, and his subsequent rise to power.
Contents |
Beginning with Capone's killing of Edwin Macy in New York, Capone moves to Chicago. Jimmy Malone, recently promoted to detective, befriends Capone. He is not bribed by money, but respects him by arresting his henchmen but not Capone as his 9 year old son is present. Capone returns the favour by letting a witness to a murder, a maid named Halina live. He changes his mind and has her killed on a train. Malone soon begins to rally Irish gangsters, culminating in the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.[1]
Antoine Fuqua was originally attached to direct in 2004,[2] but DePalma took over the reins a year later.[3] Shooting is set to begin in June 2007.[4]
