The Irishman is set to become the most expensive film Martin Scorsese has ever made.
The Irishman – Scorsese’s first film since religious drama Silence – will be released in 2019.
Interestingly, the film marks the first collaboration between Scorsese and The Godfather actor Pacino but will serve as the tenth time that De Niro has worked with the filmmaker.
Production began on the filmmaker’s long-gestating mob drama in 2016 with lucrative rights picked up at Cannes Film Festival.
