Martin Scorsese's 'The Irishman' Is Finally Happening With Robert De Niro and Al Pacino

THR reports that STX picked up the foreign distribution rights for The Irishman, with Paramount handling the film over here in the U.S. For the unfamiliar, the project reunites Scorsese with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, marking their third collaboration with each other (and De Niro and Scorsese’s fifth).

De Niro, Pacino and Pesci have been attached to the project for several years, but STX’s foreign distribution deal indicates that we’ll finally see The Irishman sooner rather than later. Scorsese’s next film, Silence, is reportedly eyeing a November release date.

But STX Entertainment has snatched up the rights to distribute the film overseas, which means that The Irishman is finally happening after all.
