Scorsese Directs Stephen Graham as Al Capone!

[HMV Lee]

According to Hollywood Reporter Stephen Graham has been cast in Martin Scorseses HBO pilot "Boardwalk Empire"

"Boardwalk Empire" is about the rise of Atlantic City in the early 20th century and centers on a liquor distributor played by Steve Buscemi. Graham will play a young Al Capone, who's working as muscle for a Chicago gangster and strikes up a friendship with one of Buscemi's lieutenants (Michael Pitt).

Graham, who co-starred in "Gangs of New York," plays another famous criminal, Baby Face Nelson, in Michael Mann's summer movie "Public Enemies."
