MovieSet has just released the first-ever behind-the-scenes footage and stills from the set of crime drama “The Irishman” starring Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Val Kilmer and Christopher Walken.
“The Irishman” chronicles the rise and fall of infamous Cleveland gangster Danny Greene (Ray Stevenson), who engaged in a power struggle with the Italian mob. Greene was as an upstart longshoreman union rep and later became a cocky, legendarily difficult-to-kill troublemaker in the world of organized crime in the 1970's. Based on the real story of mobster Danny Greene, Christoper Walken will play the loan shark and nightclub owner Shondor Birns and Val Kilmer is a Cleveland police detective who befriends Greene.
The film, directed by Jonathan Hensleigh (The Punisher), is based on Rick Porrello‘s book “To Kill the Irishman: The War That Crippled the Mafia” will be released in 2010.
