I doubt any of them will be in it. Tbh i've not got high expectations for it.


They got a solid director and one of the best screenwriters for this movie.

Also I was thinking about something. If Gandolfini doesn't do it, I wouldn't mind seeing the guy that played Richie Aprile in The Sopranos take the role as Frank Calabrese Sr.


I've not seen any of the movies he's written the screenplay for so which ones make him one of the best? I've only seen one film which the director made Pleasantville but i watched it when i was very young and can barely rsmember it.

I agree with you about Richie great character and actor playing him he should've lasted more than a season .


Yes you have seen the movies that the screenwriter for the Chicago outfit Family Secrets movie has been involved in.....

Pileggi began his career as a journalist and had a profound interest in the Mafia. He is best known for writing Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family (1986), which he adapted into the movie Goodfellas (1990), and for writing Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas and the subsequent screenplay for Casino (1995). The movie versions of both were co-written and directed by Martin Scorsese. Pileggi also wrote the screenplay for the fictional City Hall (1996), starring Al Pacino. He served as an Executive Producer of American Gangster (2007), a biographical crime film based on the criminal career of Frank Lucas, starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott. He is also the author of Blye, Private Eye (1987).

Pileggi cowrote the pilot of the CBS television series Vegas which first aired in September, 2012.
