De Niro gets untouchable again

Movie legend Robert De Niro is reprising his role as gangster Al Capone in a spin-off of 1987 film The Untouchables.

De Niro will appear alongside Kevin Costner - reprising his role as policeman Elliot Ness - in the follow-up movie to director Brian De Palma's classic.

The film, which is still in the preliminary stages, has been named The Untouchables: Mother's day and is reportedly being directed by King Arthur movie-maker Antoine Fuqua.
