A prequel to the 1987 hit The Untouchables is currently in the works with Brian DePalma attached to the project again (Antoine Fuqua was originally set to direct). Currently titled, The Untouchables: Capone Rising, it is to be produced by Art Linson, the same producer on the original film, with Brian Koppelman and David Levien as screenwriters (the two had previously written Rounders).
The story will center around on young Al Capone's arrival in Chicago and his rise to criminal kingpin status. The drama charts his collision course with Irish cop Johnny Malone, the character played in the original pic by Sean Connery, according to Variety.
