    Al Pacino To Play Dr. Kevorkian In HBO Film
    Posted by Staff on Apr 19th, 2010


    Dr. Kevorkian, known as `Dr. Death' will be portrayed in a new film
    starring Al Pacino. The good doctor made news years ago through the
    contraptions he designed to put long-suffering patients out of their
    misery by allowing them to control the machines that would end their
    life. Dr. Kevorkian did not profit from these actions and did it to
    help people escape the terrible suffering they were going through.

    In the film, Dr. Kevorkian, who recently met with Al Pacino will be
    brought to life on the big screen by a quality actor. It will be an
    HBO production. The title of the film is `You Don't Know Jack' and it
    has received very good reviews by those who have screened it.

    Dr. Kevorkian was better known in the 1990s and made a deal not to
    engage in further euthanasia in exchange for an early release from
    prison. However, he was in prison for over 8 years and was released in
    2007. The HBO production will air on April 24th. and it also stars
    Susan Sarandon.

    It is a film that brings forth an important issue, euthanasia. HBO
    continues to produce many quality shows. The doctor himself seems
    satisfied with the effort.
