Michael Caine once told me he viewed the hardboiled badass he played in Get Carter as "the ghost of Michael Caine" -- that is, the sort of gangster he very well could have grown up to be, given his hardscrabble childhood in a rough neighborhood of London. Judging from this report about his next movie -- which, sight unseen, sounds a bit like it might be his Gran Torino -- it looks like Caine is haunting the mean streets of his youth again.
