Robert De Niro lead roles Wise Guys

Upcoming gangster drama, Wise Guys, is set to feature Robert De Niro, who will play both lead roles, according to reports.

The actor, who made his name in crime dramas like Goodfellas, Casino and The Godfather Part II, will return to the genre for a film directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Bugsy).

Wise Guys will follow the lives of Italian-American crime bosses Vito Genovese and Frank Costello, who both operated their respective families in the middle of the 20th century.

In 1957, Genovese attempted and failed to assassinate Costello. The incident, however, led Costello to relinquish his power to Genovese and retire.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, De Niro will play both characters in the film.

Nicholas Pileggi wrote the script, while Irwin Winkler (Rocky) serves as producer.
