Together again The upcoming George Clooney/Ving Rhames starrer ``Out of Sight'' proved to be a reunion on more than one level for Dennis Farina, who plays Jennifer Lopez's father in the film. ``Out of Sight'' marks the second time Farina has been featured in a Jersey Films production of an Elmore Leonard book. He co-starred with John Travolta in Jersey Films' 1995 big-screen version of Leonard's ``Get Shorty'' and says they didn't have to twist his arm to join ``Out of Sight.'' Jersey Films, he says, ``is a nice place to be.'' It was also a chance for Farina to get back together with Ving Rhames. They had done a play in Washington, D.C., years ago - and hadn't seen each other since. With reports by Stephanie DuBois.
