Pacino and Travolta team up for film on crime boss John Gotti

ACTOR Al Pacino is going back into the world of organised crime to join John Travolta in a new film, Gotti: Three Generations.

Pacino, who played mob boss Michael Corleone in the Godfather series will take the role of real-life American Gambino crime boss Neil Dellacroce, an associate and mentor to John Gotti Sr (Travolta).

Gotti reunites Pacino with Barry Levinson, producer on Pacino’s 1997 crime drama Donnie Brasco. The cast also includes Lindsay Lohan, Joe Pesci and Travolta’s wife, Kelly Preston.

The casting question left is who will play Gotti Jr.
