He's in it.

Also, Martin Scorsese is apparently wanting to CGI De Niro.

Greeeaaat.

lol

I'm hopeful this will be good. I really enjoyed Goodfellas and Casino..just about every Scorsese picture is a winner so I'm not worried this will be awful. The CGI think I'm not thrilled about but we'll see. I'm sure whther or not the movie is good it'll get the usual pouncing

Al Pacino looks nice as Jimmy Hoffa. Can't wait to see these legends in action once again, especially when some of them are going to be De-aged by the same technology they used on Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

Hopefully he can channel pre-Aviator Scorsese in making this.

Shutter Island and forward Marty is great!

To each his own I guess...

Looking at the pictures I really hope DeNiro doesn't ruin this. Pacino is kosher though.

There are movies that are very frustrating for filmmakers. They are the ones made with a personal note, which I think has been the case of Silence. Some filmmakers make movies where they have none personal affliction with either the story or the characters and they have a huge success, and others where they put all there sweat and blood on what they think is the meaning of their existence in a two/three hours movie and has no success among the audience.

I personally enjoyed Silence, I think the audience, and whoever follows his work escalated the bar to a new height, because they know that Scorcese is the best on the business. I'm Portuguese, so this movie should have some meaning for me, the two characters have my name: "Ferreira and Rodrigues", but it only gave me the feeling that my ancestors did not have the right to go and impute Christianity as the universal truth to any country they went. Somehow reminds me in part of what has been seen in the Middle East, with other contours obviously.

I loved Silence. When Scorsese bombs at the box office, it generally is still a fantastic flick.

Word around twitter is that this may be the first official poster for The Irishman.

If it is in fact a real poster and just not a fan mock up - it's sort of weak, but I remember the first image we got of The Departed in 07' being sort of weak as well.

Looking forward to seeing the return of an evil joe Pesci.

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
 

Is anyone else really surprised that Scorsese directed a Netflix film? He always does theatrical release movies, since he's one of the top directors in Hollywood, so why did he choose to do a straight to Netflix movie? Is his career now in the slump more, or something?

Scorsese’s been developing this film for over a decade. Like with Silence, financing had been an issue and now that Netflix has grown as an entity, they were able and willing to pay for it, so Marty moved his project over from Paramount (who I think still have some stake on the film.)

Same thing happened with Alfonso Cuarón, The Coens and, soon, Damien Chazelle and Guillermo Del Toro (and, technically, Orson Welles too.)

Re: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
 

Oh okay, I just thought with a big name like Scorsese, and with a star like De Niro, he could have gotten some other bigger movie company, that was capable of theatrical releases, to finance it.
