![despicable me 2 2013 Al Pacino Departs Despicable Me 2; Benjamin Bratt Replaces Him [UPDATE]](http://www.flicksandbits.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/despicable_me_2_2013.jpg "Al Pacino Departs Despicable Me 2; Benjamin Bratt Replaces Him [UPDATE]")
Deadline are reporting that Al Pacino and Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment have parted company on ‘Despicable Me 2.’ Pacino was signed on to provide the voice of the film’s villain, Eduardo, in the follow-up to the 2010 hit. With just two months to go before the film’s June 28th release in the UK and July 3rd bow in US, the studio and Chris Meledandri’s Illumination are in the process of landing someone to take over. Pacino’s last-minute exit is said to have come down to creative differences.
Universal Pictures confirmed Pacino’s exit, and sent over the following statement: “Over the production of Despicable Me 2, there were creative differences between us and Al Pacino, who had been cast as the voice of Eduardo in the film. We have mutually decided with Al to replace the voice of Eduardo with a new actor. Universal and Illumination thank Al for his many contributions to the process and look forward to a new actor bringing this memorable character to the screen upon its release this summer.” UPDATE: Benjamin Bratt has stepped in to voice the villain Eduardo.
The Coen Brothers’ ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ Set For December – Starring Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman & Justin Timberlake
May 4th
CBS Films send word that ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ will see a limited release December 6th and expand out December 20th – during the heart of awards season. Written and directed by Academy Award-winners Joel and Ethan Coen, the film stars Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, John Goodman, Garrett Hedlund, F. Murray Abraham and Justin Timberlake. The Coen Brothers are producing the film with Scott Rudin, who formerly worked with the Coens on ‘No Country for Old Men’ and ‘True Grit.’ The script for the film is loosely based on the life of the influential folk musician and left-wing activist Dave van Ronk. It has been hinted that the film may draw from van Ronk’s posthumous memoir entitled ‘The Mayor of MacDougal Street.’
‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ follows an aspiring singer-songwriter (Isaac) as he navigates the 1960s folk-music scene in New York City’s Greenwich Village. Grammy-winner T Bone Burnett produced the film’s soundtrack which includes music performed by, among others, Oscar Isaac, Marcus Mumford and Justin Timberlake. Robert Graf served as executive producer, T Bone Burnett served as executive music producer and Marcus Mumford as associate music producer. Previous collaborations between the Coen Brothers and Rudin include the Academy Award-winning Best Picture of 2007 ‘No Country For Old Men’ and the multiple-Academy Award-nominated ‘True Grit.’
