Hands of Stone(2013) Al Pacino out, De Niro in

also i think gael garcia bernal will do well as duran..he's a really good actor (motorcycle diaries, science of sleep, babel, etc.), about the same height as duran, and does kind of resemble duran too. http://elcinelatino.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/participaracc81-en-el-rodaje-de-manos-de-piedra-hands-of-stone-film.jpg

i personally see pacino as a better ray arcel yah pacino looks a little closer to arcel than de niro does...

garcia is prob around 5'5 irl, a friend told me he saw him in person and was really short i just feel del toro is a better match he looks tougher, i guess size doesnt matter, im pretty sure whalberg is alot bigger than micky ward I feel the same way, they should have casted 5'6 Tom Cruise as Superman.....

del toro woulda played a better duran garcia bernal is too scrawny and short Benecio Del Toro? That would be a supremely horrible casting. He's freakin 45 years old, and above 6 feet.

WTF? Roberto Duran is 5'7, Gael Garcia is 5'7 Del Toro is 6'2, you want him to tower over the actor that will portray Buchanan WTF. http://coxscorner.tripod.com/Images/duranltchamp.jpg garcia is prob around 5'5 irl, a friend told me he saw him in person and was really short i just feel del toro is a better match he looks tougher, i guess size doesnt matter, im pretty sure whalberg is alot bigger than micky ward

for the 100th millionth time, SRL's role in the movie is going to be minimal. This is a movie about Duran, not a movie about Duran and SRL's rivalry. Usher is going to be minimal screen time. No big deal.

DeNiro over Pacino is a good move. i personally see pacino as a better ray arcel

DeNiro over Pacino is a good move.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1781827/ Apparently they switched pacino for de niro to play ray arcel....i would've preferred pacino. Thoughts? Too bad it isnt Usher who is out, SMH. :damnit:

he's okay for the duran part imo, usher as srl....meh Usher as Sugar Ray Leonard is like casting Billy Zane as Jesus

LOL. The motorcycle Diaries guy is going to play Duran? He better grow a thick beard. His eyes are too soft to play the hands of stone. he's okay for the duran part imo, usher as srl....meh

De Niro is a better actor to be honest. Just my thoughts. I don't think this movie will get a ton of pub though, De Niro is well past his days of being a big time actor.
