After years of lingering in development hell, it appears that Martin Scorsese’s mob picture The Irishman is coming into fruition.
The Irishman is shaping up to be a true event film for that reason alone, and there will be several eyes watching it closely.
Should De Niro sign on, this would be their first movie together since 1995’s Casino (which, coincidentally, was the last time Pesci made a Scorsese film).
The news comes courtesy of Deadline, who say that STX came out on top following a lengthy negotiation process on Saturday, May 14.
