Pacino may re-visit gangster roots

Al Pacino may be returning to his gangster roots, which he has explored in such films as The Godfather, Scarface, Carlito’s Way and Donnie Brasco.

Sources tell the Hollywood Reporter that the Oscar-winning actor is in discussions to star in Don Cornelius, the story of a repressed suburban accountant who discovers his biological father is the head of the New York mafia.
