Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman Starring Robert De Niro Could Shoot in 2011
Yeah, you read that correctly, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro are reuniting for the first time since 1995 crime classic Casino!
At first, that was just another Hollywood rumor, but now it’s a fact, because legendary director has just confirmed they are all set to start shooting a project titled The Irishman in 2011.
The film will focus on Frank ‘The Irishman’ Sheeran, who is reputed to have carried out more than 25 mob murders.
The movie is based on a book called I Heard You Paint Houses, which refers to mob slang for contract killings, and the resulting blood splatter on walls and floors.
Robert De Niro In Scorsese’s The Irishman
It’s really interesting how Martin Scorsese just keeps impressing us all with his new plans. That’s exactly what we wrote, guys, we’re just talking about his plans for the future. But, we’re sure that you’ll be thrilled when you hear the latest news!
The Irishman may not be a priority among Scorsese’s upcoming projects, but we’re sure it will continue to attract attention as the long awaited project which will reunite Robert De Niro with Scorsese!
Ok, you could now say – it’s just a rumor. But what kind of rumor, when Scorsese confirmed it back in February by saying:
“There’s no doubt about that. We’re working on something like that, but it’s from the vantage point of older men looking back, none of this running around stuff.”, and now we had a chance to hear the same thing from Robert De Niro, hm?
Robert De Niro Returns To Gangster Role With Martin Scorsese
Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese will team up on organized crime drama “I Heard You Paint Houses.”
The studio has attached Steve Zaillian (American Gangster, Schindler’s List) to adapt “I Heard You Paint Houses,” a book by Charles Brandt about the mob assassin Frank “the Irishman” Sheeran who many believe had something to do with the disappearance and presumed death of Teamster boss Jimmy Hoffa. The title comes from how mobsters inquire about a hitman and hiring them for a job. However, this code has also led to unfortunate miscommunications resulting in very alive targets happily residing in freshly painted homes.
