Ever since Robert De Niro confirmed production on long-gestating mob drama The Irishman, film fans have been excited by the thought of seeing him reunited on-screen with Al Pacino and Joe Pesci in the Martin Scorsese-directed project.
The Irishman will mark the first collaboration between Scorsese and The Godfather actor Pacino.
De Niro’s role will be that of notorious mobster Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran – worlds away from playing dirty grandpas.
In an interview with Variety, production designer Dante Ferretti stated: “Theoretically we’ve talked about shooting this film next year in February or March.”
