So many good projects which are going nowhere (yet).

BIG TUNA

In 2010, it was announced that Michael Mann was working on a biopic of notorious Chicago mobster Tony Accardo and his complex relationship with his protégé, Sam Giancolo. Sheldon Turner was brought on to write the script, and later Shane Salerno.

The film ultimately went nowhere. But then in 2016, Mann announced that he was instead working on a novelization of his script, teaming up with Don Winslow to co-write with an expected publication sometime in 2017 from Mann’s publishing imprint.

As of today, neither the novel nor film has materialized. It’s an intriguing premise, but one that Mann seems to have moved on from.
