De Niro confirms he still plans to work with Scorsese on THE IRISHMAN

Movie Martin Scorsese by

Robert De Niro has confirmed that he still plans to work with Martin Scorsese again in The Irishman. The news was announced while the actor was doing press for Limitless. Here is what the De Niro had to say about his involvement:

“Yeah, I’m planning on it, absolutely. Well, this time I’ll say it, I’ve said it before, its a movie based on a book called, ‘I Heard You Paint Houses,’ its about a guy who says, and I believe [the author of] the book—he’s passed away now—but he confessed that he killed [JimmyHoffa and also Joe Gallo. And so I’m gonna play that character. Joe Pesci is gonna be in it, Al Pacino is gonna be in it and Marty’s going to direct it.”

De Niro goes on to say, “I’m hoping it happens. We’re really working towards making it happen,” he said.  “As much as ‘for sure’ as everything in the movie business is,” Burger interjected and cautioned. “Yeah, I mean I’d never say it if I never fully [meant it, if we weren’t] committed and stuff,” De Niro said.

The Irishman will likely go into production after Scorsese after his foray into 3D children’s movies, Hugo Cabret and he directs Silence. I am excited to see this film and hope it comes sooner than later.
