The Irishman will reunite director Martin Scorsese and actor Robert De Niro, centring on real life mobster Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran and being adapted from the 2004 book I Heard You Paint Houses.
“Imagine seeing what De Niro looked like in The Godfather: Part II days, that’s pretty much how you’re going to see him again.”
Scorsese has another film in the works right now, a Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer called The Devil in the White City.
To portray Sheeran’s younger years, the film won’t be going down the different actor or prosthetics route.
