"Tommy Lee Jones is in final negotiations for Malavita. The Men in Black 3 actor is in line to star alongside Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer in Luc Besson&amp;#039;s mob film, reports Variety.   De Niro and Pfeiffer will play the heads of the Manzoni mafia family, who enter into a witness protection programme in Normandy. While the husband masquerades as a historian, the wife struggles with a propensity to use arson against those who wrong her. Jones will play a stern FBI agent who is assigned as the Manzonis&amp;#039; handler to help them adjust to their new lives. Malavita is based on Tonino Benacquista&amp;#039;s novel Badfellas, which had been adapted by Besson. Filming is scheduled to begin in August at Studios de Paris&amp;#039;s new location at La Cit\u00C3\u00A9 du Cin\u00C3\u00A9ma, and on location in France and New York. Malavita is scheduled for a 2013 release. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
