after the Al Pacino film "88 Minutes" and "Righteous Kill" director Jon Avnet, who received little support and appreciation from both the public and Critics, back on set. This time is not to direct his friend Jon Avnet but director Barry Levinson. The actor is visibly aged and difficult to recognize, at least it would seem from the first photos are from the set of new movie that is filming in New York. The actor of the "Godfather" Oscar in 1992 for "Scent of a Woman," is shooting the first sequences of "You Do not Know Jack", which tells the story of Jack Kevorkian, better known as Dr. Death.
Al Pacino as Dr. Death
The American doctor took his personal battle for years in favor of euthanasia, Advocate helped Janet Good, played by Susan Sarandon in the film. His work as a doctor of the sweet death dates back to the nineties, when Dr. Death personally followed more than 150 cases of assisted suicide.
His philosophy was "to die is not a crime."
After Kevorkian, just for his medical work and for his theories about euthanasia, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison for second-degree murder. He remained in prison in Lakeland, Michigan, for nine years starting in 1999, then in 2008 was released for good behavior.
Al Pacino to play the doctor's gentle death, has literally transformed, becoming almost unrecognizable even to enter physically in his character. The film, directed by Barry Levinson ("Sleepers," "Bugsy," "Rain Man"), will also starring Susan Sarandon and John Goodman.
It seems that the controversy will not fail on a subject so delicate and indeed WOULD BE already heating up the set. What is certain is that this is a current issue, and even here in Italy, especially with the case of Eluana, has opened an intense debate and conflict on the living will and public opinion divided between Catholic morality, euthanasia, religious commandments and professional ethics.
