Robert De Niro has returned to mine his gangster credibility in Luc Besson's 'The Family.' He co-stars with 'Scarface' and 'Married to the Mob' vet Michelle Pfeiffer in this film about a former Mob family sent to live in Europe through the witness protection program.
Scarlett Johansson is the latest star set to kick some butt for director Luc Besson -- the actress has just signed on to star in 'Lucy,' in which she plays a drug mule with a serious kick.
Kevin Costner, at one point in his career, was one of the industry’s biggest stars. He excelled as a leading man, and won Oscars for his directorial efforts. Costner never fully disappeared from the scene, though his career arc slowed for a few years. Things, however, are about to get far more busy.
Tommy Lee Jones isn't retiring anytime soon -- in fact, the actor just signed on to co-star with Michelle Pfeiffer and Robert De Niro in director Luc Besson's action-comedy 'Malavita.'
Luc Besson’s dedicated fans would love to see the director get back to his prime for crime thrillers like ‘La Femme Nikita’ or ‘Leon: The Professional.’ Robert De Niro’s supporters likely would love to see him get back to his gangster roots for another film in the mold of ‘Goodfellas’ or ‘Casino.’ One new project could kill two birds with one stone.
