Righteous Kill Teaser

The pair you've been waiting for. De Niro and Pacino team up for Righteous Kill.

It's hard to believe that Al Pacino and Robert De Niro have never acted alongside one another. Sure, the two were both in The Godfather: Part II and Heat but only shared one scene across both films. That stat will be thrown out the window this September as the two Oscar-winning actors are detective partners in Righteous Kill.



Today Overture Films released the first official teaser trailer for the film. Check it out below or visit Yahoo Movies to watch it in HD.



I quite enjoyed this teaser. The chemistry between De Niro and Pacino is evident from the get go and this film looks like it'll be a lot of fun. The two legendary actors have been mailing it in lately with simply average performances and I hope this film can be a return to what made them so special earlier in their careers. I'm not so sure about Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson though as he's quite annoying, hopefully he's offed fairly quickly. I had also completely forgotten that Carla Gugino was in this flick and seeing her in the teaser was a pleasant reminder.

However, I have heard quite a few bad things about the script and the way director Jon Avnet (88 Minutes) has handled the film. Many are saying Righteous Kill will be a failure and that it's a surprise both Pacino and De Niro signed on to such a bomb of a project. This is all currently speculation and rumours, we won't know until September whether or not Righteous Kill will be any good.

Cheers.
