Legendary actor Robert De Niro is returning to his Mafia-character roots
with acclaimed director Michael Mann.
The two-time Oscar winning actor, best known for gangster movies
including Goodfellas and Casino, and Mann last joined forces on the
critically-acclaimed 1995 crime thriller Heat.
Now the pair are working on Frankie Machine, based on the Don Winslow
novel The Winter Of Frankie Machine, in which De Niro will play a former
mobster forced out of retirement.
