The Irishman is released on 1 November in the US and 8 November in the UK, before being avaialble on Netflix on 27 November.
Martin Scorsese has wrapped up the London film festival with a defence of the streaming giant Netflix, who stepped in to finance his new film when other backers dropped out.
Partly to compensate for its limited presence in cinemas, The Irishman will screen for a month at New York’s historic Belasco theatre on Broadway.
However, Netflix have incurred the wrath of other sectors of the film industry which are committed to defending the cinema experience.
