April 19, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): Legendary actor, Al Pacino, will be depicting the character of Dr. Jack Kevorkian in a HBO telepic. The film will mention the tale of Dr Kevorkian. He was notorious for his backing in terminating the lives of those, who were incurably sick and in tremendous pain. The script of the film has been written by Adam Mazer and it will be directed by Barry Levinson.

Talking about his role, Pacino uttered that there were moments when he desired to encounter the person he was enacting. However, with Kevorkian, he just encircled himself in the research. Pacino further articulated that he witnesses Kevorkian as a medical doctor, who looked after his patients.

Kevorkian had once notoriously uttered that becoming extinct is not a felony. Kevorkian claims to have given a hand to at least 130 patients to end their existence. His job straight away magnetized the concentration of the media. After he emerged via tape on 60 minutes mortally injecting a patient, he was convicted of second-degree murder. Between 1999 and 2007, he served eight years of a 10-to-25-year prison term for second-degree murder. He was discharged on parole in June 2007, as a result of fine conduct.

The film, which has been titled, ‘You Don’t Know Jack’, will also star Susan Sarandon, and will air in America on April 24.

With significant names linked, the film is surely going to reawaken deliberations on euthanasia again.
