Legendary actor Al Pacino has taken on another controversial acting role, this time playing music mogul Phil Spector and Breaking Celebrity News has photos from the set where he's wearing a crazy Spector wig during filming.
The movie is based around the relationship that developed between Spector and his defense attorney Linda Kenney Baden, who is played by the stunning Helen Mirren, during his trial for the murder of actress Lana Clarkson.
The film has angered Hollywood publicist Edward Lozzi, amongst others, who formed the group Friends of Lana Clarkson and they have accused the film's writer David Mamet of being pro-Spector and have called for Pacino and Mirren to ask him to change the script.
Lozzi said the movie is "an insensitive attempt to portray the loathsome, lying, gun-abusing convicted murderer of our friend Lana Clarkson with some kind of sympathy."
