According to Variety (who's news I take with a grain of salt)..."Al Pacino has been set to star in an HBO telepic about right-to-die champion Dr. Jack Kevorkian, to be helmed by Barry Levinson.
Pic revolves around Kervorkian's construction of his infamous "Mercy Machine," his first assisted suicide in the early 1990s and the resulting media frenzy.
Script was penned by Adam Mazer. Levinson, Steve Lee Jones, Lydia Dean Pilcher and Glenn Rigberg will exec produce."
HBO has a pretty good track record for original projects, as I'm sure all are aware. I just hope this doesn't keep Pacino from reprising his role as Rooster in that Righteous Kill sequel. No spoilers! I haven't seen it. I'm waiting for the trilogy as a whole.
