Also table-reading actors for THE IRISHMAN.

For my part, Martin Scorsese can’t make enough movies. But he’s trying. Scorsese, who is completing The Wolf Of Wall Street with Leonardo DiCaprio, just held a reading of Steve Zaillian’s script at the Tribeca Film Center for The Irishman, the mob drama based on the Charles Brandt book I Heard You Paint Houses. The film is about mob hit man Frank Sheeran. Robert De Niro, who’ll play the lead character, was there, as was Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, also expected to take part. Project is set up at Paramount, but several financiers were there looking to invest.

I’m told by Scorsese’s camp that this is something Scorsese likes to do to make sure the picture is making proper progress. But they assure me he’s not making The Irishman next. Scorsese’s holding fast to his dream of making Silence the next film he directs. Scorsese, who almost had the Shusaku Endo book project together several times, is auditioning actors and is looking to start production on the film in mid-2014. Given De Niro’s resurgence in Silver Linings Playbook, how can we wait that long to see the actor get back in business with Scorsese?

I guess getting sued lights a fire under your ass.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Awesome! Wish some movies came faster.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

The fact that it's these two projects vying for his next film makes me pretty happy. I hope SILENCE wins out.

Me too. I want De Niro and Scorsese together again.

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

He also said about a year ago that he was considering shooting silence in 3D.

I hope he does.

 

[LiveFromKyoto]

Been waiting like 5 years for this. Look forward to him announcing it again in 2018.

Me too. I want De Niro and Scorsese together again.

i dont want a taxi driver sequel, im so sorry. i am definitely looking forward to this however!

De Niro in Goodfellas, The King of Comedy and Raging Bull is quite different from the one in TD. I didn't mean I wanted a sequel to TD. They were prolific together.

Anything to wipe away that Hugo stink.

Holy shit, I knew about that table read this morning but didn't post since thought it wasn't a big update. Boo!

Hugo doesn't stink so bad

Anything to wipe away that Hugo stink.

I really enjoyed it.

I'd rather The Irishman be up next, but I don't mind Silence.

I wonder whatever happened to that Taxi Driver/Five Obstructions movie he was planning to make with von Trier?

That shit was bogus iirc. Scorsese never had any plans to do it.

Piss or get off the pot, Marty.

I guess getting sued lights a fire under your ass.

Sued?

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Sued?

The guys who own the rights to Silence tried to sue Marty for delaying the picture again and again.

Scorsese reaffirms plans that Silence will actually be his next film, with The Irishman (which he describes as a "small chamber play") to follow that:

Scorsese is currently heading the jury at the Marrakech International Film Festival, and while chatting with Moviezine, he revealed that "The Irishman" is indeed coming... It's just not next. "First, I'll make 'Silence.' It's a project I've wanted to do for many years, but it's only now I've gotten together the budget. 'The Irishman' comes after 'Silence,' " he said (apologies for rough Google Translate). And even more, that baller cast that was rumored to include Al Pacino and Joe Pesci? He still wants 'em.

"It is a perfect role for Bobby and hopefully we also get with Joe Pesci and Al Pacino. But that's a minor film, almost a chamber play," Scorsese also said, and we have to say that description makes even more curious about the material, that almost seems like it would be completely the opposite.

[SCULLIBUNDO]

Yeah I just read that. I believe Silence will indeed be his next film. I don't believe The Irishman will follow just yet.

I'm still pissed that he's traded Benicio and DDL in Silence for Andrew Garfield and Ken Watanabe.

Talk about a downgrade of epic proportions.

 

[kris.]

I'd rather it be The Irishman but oh well. As long as it happens sooner or later.

 

[andycapps]

The Irishman needs to happen. Scorcese going to De Niro, Pesci, and Al Pacino. We need that now.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

I'll believe it when I'm sitting in the theater.

Well Benicio and DDL were supposed to be two other characters and have not been recast yet, Garfield replaced Bernal. I understand what you mean though, having read the book, DDL would have been perfect for that role.

More confirmation it will shoot this summer (I've read July elsewhere but it's not in this link) + Adam Driver joins cast
