Here’s Al Pacino filming in Midtown and looking very much like Phil Spector, the music-industry Machiavelli Al portrays in an upcoming HBO biopic.
Pacino, who previously portrayed Dr. Jack Kevorkian, another less-than-savory character, in the HBO film “You Don’t Know Jack,” took on the persona of the “Wall of Sound” creator, thanks to a pair of Spector’s trademark shades and some vintage suits.
Spector, who like Pacino is 70, is serving a minimum 19-year term after being convicted last year of second-degree murder in the death of struggling actress Lana Clarkson.
The legendary music producer is best known for hits like “Da Doo Ron Ron” and “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling” and helping the careers of the Ramones, Ike and Tina Turner and others.
