De Niro and Pacino have been attached to star in The Irishman for years. The movie finally has finally gotten a start date now that the financing has been decided, with Scorsese set to start shooting in January following the release of his upcoming passion project, Silence.

It's...happening?

 

[strafer]

Damn. Always wanted Scorsese to work with De Niro again.

 

[kris.]

YEEEESSSSS I WANT THIS SO BADLY

 

[Liamario]

But who's The Irishman in the title. Liam Neeson? Daniel Day Lewis? It's a pub?

 

[Einhander]

Really excited for this.

Jeremy Renner or Ben Affleck (The Town reference)

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygodohmygod

I've been looking forward to this for years

 

[kmfdmpig]

I thought Pesci retired from acting. With DeNiro and Scorsese together, I can certainly see why he'd make an exception and come back.

 

[Schattenjäger]

Pretty good book ... I'm sure it will be Goodfellas-upped which is not a bad thing

 

[El Daniel]

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[jett]

This sounds like something that should've happened a decade ago at least.

Pesci has been retired for ages now.

 

[Graphics Horse]

But who's The Irishman in the title. Liam Neeson? Daniel Day Lewis? It's a pub?

Frank Sheeran. Don't know who is playing him.
edit: Bobby De Niro, I shoulda read the article

 

[Epcott]

Harvey Keitel too? Oh man, this is going to be amazing. What exactly is the premise?

Edit: Read the article. Oh wow, that story sounds perfect. Interesting it'll be diving into the teamster/mob connections. For some reason, links don't seem to work on my mobile Gaf anymore :.(

 

[RBH]

Yes please

 

[Maxim726X]

That is some fucking cast... Thank God DeNiro isn't going to fizzle out his career with shit comedies.

Pretty pumped already.

 

[Drazgul]

They're too old for this shit.

 

[True Savior]

De niro has mentioned a few weeks ago they were going to cgi-him in the flashback scenes as his younger self (benjamin button style).

 

[SJRB]

Hot damn this would be awesome.

 

[freeofgreed]

Finally, been waiting for this movie for ever. What about the Devil in the White City though?

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

I've been dying for some Pesci.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

If Pesci's taking a break from retirement, make Lethal Weapon 5 quick.

 

[Nokterian]

whoa whoa De Niro and Pesci?!! That have been a long long time seeing those together. Well de niro needs this he done so many shitty movies lately.

 

[Hagi]

Cast won't be complete till Zac Efron signs on.

 

[Rhaknar]

no Leo?

 

[Snaku]

The Great Grand Godfather

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

no Leo?

Not old enough. Though someone his age will play of the already casted actor's wife.

 

[FairyD]

He's never going to direct that Jesuit movie is he.

 

[harSon]

Can they add Chazz Palminteri?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

That's a lot of old go folks..

Can they add Chazz Palminteri?

Bet he'll show up.

 

[Ridley327]

He's never going to direct that Jesuit movie is he.

Silence is in post production.

 

[Blader]

^and it's coming out in November.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Still don't believe because I've been hearing about this film for a long time. Here is hoping they all tap into their 80s persona and give it there all.

 

[Choomp]

Fuck yesssss

 

[Sectorseven]

Is this the Departed sequel that had been rumored?

 

[Mortemis]

Thank god. Pretty excited for this.

 

[Indelible]

Sounds really good, I miss seeing Keitel in good movies.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Sounds really good, I miss seeing Keitel in good movies.

I miss Pacino in good movies.

 

[harSon]

I miss Pacino in good movies.

I miss De Niro in good movies

 

[Ridley327]

Is this the Departed sequel that had been rumored?

No, this is something else. I don't think that particular project was able to get traction.

 

[outunderthestars]

This would have been my favorite movie ever if they filmed this 20 years ago. Most of these actors are well pasty their prime and seem to phone in every role they take.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Zero expectation this will be good.

 

[bggrthnjsus]

is this like scorcese's version of last vegas

 

[MMaRsu]

Im hoping this will be good.

 

[Jonm1010]

I miss De Niro in good movies

I miss Pesci in movies.

 

[A-V-B]

Oh shit! Scorsese movie with the ultimate old school gangster cast.

I hope it's good!

 

[Discotheque]

Really wish scorsese worked with Pacino in the 70s-90s at least once

Him and deniro are kinda washed up now but god damn this is still pretty hype. I think it will wake them all up. Wonder if pesci agrees to act in it as well

But one question mark is the involvement of Joe Pesci. Sources say Pesci, who largely has retired from the film business, repeatedly has told Scorsese no, but the director remains hopeful that he can lure back his Goodfellas star.]

 

[Intheflorsh]

A dream cast!

Spoiler

... twenty years ago.

Update:

The Irishman is expected to shoot in 2017 with a domestic release eyed for late 2018.
