While Imagine, the upcoming film from writer Dan Fogelman (Tangled), once had funnyman Steve Carell attached to star, it appears as though the film has now pinpointed its potential leading man, and has entered into early negotiations with Hollywood legend Al Pacino (Heat).
Following an ageing rock star who has the sudden urge to turn his life around after discovering a letter John Lennon (of The Beatles fame), which inspires him to find his estranged son, Imagine will mark the directorial debut of Fogelman, and unfortunately won’t feature Carell (as scheduling issues have forced him to bow out), but now stands a good chance of landing Pacino (who’s reportedly very interested in the picture); provided he can work it in around his already packed schedule.
