Rome stalks "Righteous Kill"
Nick Vivarelli has news from Rome that not only will David Cronenberg and Michael Cimino attend, but that Jon Avnet's "Righteous Kill" - starring Pacino and De Niro - is expected to unspool in Rome, not Venice.
...sources say "Righteous Kill," which had been tipped for the Lido, is now Rome-bound to best boost its October Italo launch via local distrib 01 Distribuzione. Talent for the thriller is, of course, expected, though at this stage it’s premature to say whether it will be De Niro, Pacino, or both. De Niro has previously been a Rome guest.
Cronenberg will be in town for an art show called "Cromosomes" comprised of his pic stills.
