SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 31, 2000 -- The two faces of Don Corleone may be reunited in the upcoming crime drama "The Score." Daily Variety reports that Marlon Brando is in negotiations to co-star alongside Robert De Niro in the Frank Oz-helmed project. Also starring in the film is Edward Norton ("American History X").
Brando and De Niro last appeared in the same movie as the younger and older faces of Corleone in "The Godfather: Part II." Their collaboration on "The Score" marks the first time they will appear together in the same scenes.
The story involves a young con played by Norton who seeks out De Niro's veteran thieving skills to pull off one last heist. Brando will play De Niro's fence. Shooting on the Mandalay/Paramount project is set to begin in late April in Montreal.

Despite the entertainment giant's boffo year at the box office (Disney was No. 1 among the Hollywood studios), its flagging consumer products and licensing divisions cut into revenue.
But don't cry for Eisner. The longtime Disney CEO (he's been there since 1984) owned $68.4 million worth of unexercisable "in-the-money" stock options as of the end of September.
