Martin Scorsese’s new film The Irishman has been scheduled for release in cinemas which, according to Robert De Niro, is “the way it should be”.
Based on Charles Brandt’s book I Heard You Paint Houses, The Irishman marks the ninth collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese.
Netflix later acquired worldwide rights to the film for a reported $105m setting a budget of $125m.
De Niro confirmed the news at the Marrakech Film Festival where he appeared alongside Scorsese, whose gangster movie is his biggest budget film to date.
