You Don't Know Jack (HBO Movie) with Al Pacino (!) premires April 24th

[McCrutchy]

I literally just saw an IMDb banner for this and I had literally no idea of it's existence. Apparently, You Don't Know Jack is about Jack Kevorkian and his highly controversial practices in euthanasia.



More to the point, check out the cast:

Al Pacino as Jack Kevorkian
Susan Sarandon as Janet Good
Danny Huston as Geoffrey Fieger
Brenda Vaccaro as Margo Janus
John Goodman (always a favorite of mine) as Neal Nicol

Director: Barry Levinson

Some pretty big names pulled together--but Pacino's involvement in a one-off telemovie has to be a win, even for a giant like HBO. I mean, the guy is beyond able to pick and choose his roles, so I find it very interesting that he chose to play such a controversial character in the smaller realm of TV.

The film premieres this Saturday, April 24th, at 9:00 PM on HBO.
