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.

I would be more interested in Idol's Eye, the movie that was supposed to be about the crew that robbed Accardo's house. Have De Niro play Accardo and we're set. Sadly, nothing is coming. We'll see Beverly Hills Cop 5 though lol

But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
