The actor Al Pacino (82 years old) said this Friday, between jokes and truth, that he would like the young Timothee Chalamet (26 years old) performer police officer Vincent Hanna, role he gave life to in the movie Heat in 1995, if a second part is ever made, then he thinks he is an actor “wonderful” and “very good to see”.
Pacino, who along with Robert DeNiro presented in the tribeca-festival the 4K version of the police tape, thus responded to a question from the moderator of a colloquium, and then specified that the idea of having to choose his replacement seemed like a “strange” request.
He even asked the public that filled the seats of the New York theater in United Place to give their suggestions, before which, surprisingly, the proposal that was shouted loudest was the English singer Harry Styles (28 years).
At the moment, no sequel has been announced. Heat -a film that did not receive any nomination for major awards, but which has become an icon in its genre-, but on August 9 the director Michael Mann will publish the novel Heat 2.
A book that, according to the person in charge of moderating the panel, the journalist Bilge Ebiri, is both a sequel and a prequel that follows the life of the thief neil mccauley (De Niro) as the detective who chased him all over Los Angeles.
Mann, who wrote the original screenplay for Heat In 1979, he was unable to attend this talk of almost an hour dedicated to the film, but he sent a video in which he explained that he was confined in Italy, after testing positive for covid-19.
Acting with De Niro is like “playing tennis”
One of the most iconic scenes in the almost 3-hour film is when the criminal and the lawman meet face to face for coffee and say goodbye, promising each other that if they meet again they will kill each other.
Both De Niro, who is 78 years old, and Pacino pointed out that they did not rehearse that scene – which was recorded with three cameras: two above the actors’ shoulders and one in profile – to make it “purer”.
Also, Pacino likened acting with De Niro to “playing tennis,” as the actor is always on the lookout to respond and, with his great performance, forces no “ball to hit the net.”
In this scene of more than six minutes, it was the first time that the two interpreters acted opposite each other, almost two decades after The Godfather IIa film starring both, but in which they never shared any scene.
50 years of ‘The Godfather’
Pacino also shared anecdotes that happened to him while playing Michael Corleonethe son of Don Vito Corleone, and said between laughs that after seeing the film for the first time he gave annotations to Francis Coppola and the director dismissed him with an insult.
the protagonist of Scarface also said to be a fan of The Offerthis year’s series on the development and production of the film The Godfather and recommended De Niro to see it.
The Tribeca festival celebrated the 50th anniversary of the famous trilogy The Godfather with a special screening last Thursday.
This year’s edition of the New York festival presents 111 films -88 world premieres- made by filmmakers from 40 countries, more than half of them women, people who are “non-white” or who identify with the LGBTQ community, a diversity of filmmakers whose objective it is “being a reflection of the community”, according to the organization.
