- 9 years ago
In ““Danny Collins”“:http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie/danny-collins/review/779817, 74-year-old Al Pacino plays an aging rock star facing an identity crisis.
He’s still making money by half-heartedly giving oldies concerts. Until one day, his manager unearths a 1971 letter from John Lennon, in which the former Beatle invited Danny to discuss career choices and be true to himself.
This prompts the veteran rocker to want to change his life and at last reconnect with his family.
The film’s director, Dan Fogelman, was most known for the screenplays he wrote, including Disney’s animation film “Tangled”, the Pixar film “Cars”, and television sitcoms.
He says working with Al Pacino for his first time as a film director was beyond his dreams.
“It’s exciting, it’s so beyond exciting it’s almost incomprehensible. I should’ve taken a Xanax before I came here tonight,” Fogelman said at the film’s premiere in New York.
