Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro are teaming up again with Paramount Pictures  to make a movie called ‘I Heard You Paint Houses’, which is based on a novel about the mob assassin who many people believe was involved in the death of Jimmy Hoffa. Variety Reports:

Scorsese is attached to direct. De Niro will play Frank “the Irishman” Sheeran, who is reputed to have carried out more than 25 mob murders. Pic will be produced by Scorsese and Tribeca partners De Niro and Jane Rosenthal. Project landed at Paramount through the overall deal that the studio has with Scorsese’s Sikelia Prods.

Pic’s title refers to mob slang for contract killings, and the resulting blood splatter on walls and floors. Book was written by Charles Brandt, who befriended Sheeran shortly before the latter’s death in 2003. Among the crimes Sheeran confessed to Brandt, according to the 2004 book, was the killing and dismemberment of Hoffa, carried out on orders from mob boss Russell Bufalino.

This movie should end up being very interesting. These two guys are perfect for this type of movie. There is no doubt that it will be a good film. I love mob history so I’m in. What do you think?
