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

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.

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.

Usher as Sugar Ray Leonard is like casting Billy Zane as Jesus

Apparently they switched pacino for de niro to play ray arcel....i would've preferred pacino.

Thoughts?

DeNiro over Pacino is a good move.

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.
