Pacino as Kevorkian? Hoo-ah!

Assisted deaths. I'm all over it. Hoo-AH!

Hoping to atone for the steamy brown coily piece of crap known as Simone, Al Pacino is in talks to bring Dr. Jack Kevorkian, aka the man who assisted his patients' suicides, in an HBO made-for-TV movie.

Al Pacino is in talks to play Dr. Jack Kevorkian in the upcoming HBO telepic You Don't Know Jack, according to Variety.

Based on an authorized biography of the famed "suicide doctor" by his assistant Neal Nicol and his lifelong friend Harry Wylie, the movie will be about Kevorkian's creation of the "Mercy Machine" and his role in helping his patients commit suicide.

So he's going from being the devil to being a modern day vessel of death. I'm so waiting to see what he wants to do next. Maybe a mild-mannered satanist who has uptight, neat freak roommate? How about a gritty look at the life of the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz with him attached as the wise but drug-addicted scarecrow?

Who knows? All I know is he shot up dudes in his own home and snorted a mountain of coke on a desk in Scarface. You know, all rappers watch Scarface.
