I recently came across a rumor regarding the Pacino/De Niro film "Heat". The scene in the cafe between De Niro and Pacino, one of the biggest in history where two of the greatest actors of all-time are together, might not have really happened.
Some say that due to the massive egos of both outstanding actors that both of the actors shot there lines separately and the backs of the actors are body-doubles. If you notice, there is never a scene where you see both of the actors' faces at the same time.
Director Michael Mann who also did "The Insider" with Pacino says that this is totally false. He believes that to better understand the emotions of each actor, he would show the whole face of one. He thought that showing half of each actors' face would not correctly portray emotions.
Hmmmm. Very interesting. I would not doubt this rumor at all.
