MTV has confirmed that Nicolas Cage is set to play Chicago crime boss Al Capone in “The Untouchables: Capone Rising.”

Cage will reteam with “Snake Eyes” director Brian DePalma for the project, playing a younger version of the character made famous by Robert DeNiro. “Capone Rising” is a prequel to DePalma’s 1987 classic “The Untouchables,” and will revolve around the early dealings between Capone and Irish cop Jimmy Malone, a role that garnered an Oscar for Sean Connery.

Well if it is anything like the prequel to Carlito's Way -- I know a fictional account but similar in story line -- I say absolutely not.

That prequel had little to do with the actual movie and it was terrible on top of it.

I doubt Nicholas Cage would make a straight-to-DVD flick. At least not yet.
