Director Martin Scorsese has a habit of working alongside the same actors for a multitude of different projects. But not all habits should be broken, especially when Scorsese is working with actors as talented as, say, Leonardo DiCaprio.
For a future project, Scorsese is turning his attention towards a tried and true face in his stable of ever-reliable actors: Robert De Niro. Digital Spy confirms an earlier MTV News scoop that Scorsese and De Niro are joining forces for "The Irishman," based on the novel "I Heard You Paint Houses."
The news comes straight from Scorsese's mouth, as the director "revealed that the project is currently going through financing, and shooting could begin as early as next year." He also revealed that "Gangs of New York" and "Cape Fear" screenwriter Steve Zallian is working on the script.
"The Irishman" tells the story of real-life mobster Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, a union official who became a successful hitman for the mob.
Ein Mafiafilm von Scorsese mit DeNiro? Der kann nur gut werden
Auch wenn Scorsese zuletzt mit dem ganz schwachen Stutter Island enttäuscht hat, so habe ich in den Irishman Hoffnungen.
