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.
According to Variety, De Niro will play Sheeran.
The last time Scorsese and De Niro worked together was on “Casino” in 1995 and Goodfellas before that.
No production date has been set.

“Righteous Kill” - Red Band Trailer
Check out new Red Band Trailer for “Righteous Kill“
After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren’t. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before.
Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four line poem justifying the killing. When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer, one who targets criminals that have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system.
