According to The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz Blog, several younger actors are circling the other lead part.
Gaghan's script will center on the relationship between an older man (Pacino) and the twentysomething son he was never close to. The two reconnect early on in the film, and the boy, an idealistic drifter who's teaching in a downtown New York school, and the father, a finance type living in Connecticut, must navigate their new relationship.
The son has a special gift: that Blink thing going -- he can size up people and situations on a dime. The Pacino character spots this, and both wants to help the boy find himself and use him to make some dough on Wall Street.

"true story"? woooow. that's what they said about Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but you don't see Al Pacino running from Leatherface.

BLINK is a observational theory. its is a non-fiction book.
If they are making a movie of course they have to create characters and storylines, within this plot there will be many spaces where it says "insert concept here".
It's a messy process but not impossible

Err
nonfiction?
it's a true story, or "based on" a true story?

Could end up being really good.

BLINK is just a theory without any real evidence to support the concept, a fun read. Making a movie on it will be tough.
