This was posted on the DVD board but I thought I'd post it here too just for fun.
I also have been waiting to see this 'Gangs...' flick, and the authenticity of the setting is fantastic in the trailers. The gossip? Scorsese had to publicly curse DiCaprio out on the set of 'Gangs...' for coming in late one morning smelling like weed and liquor and looking like he hadn't slept. He ran down the names of people he'd worked with (DiNiro and Pesce included) whom had sacrificed and learned new languages, gained weight and/or trained hard for parts in films along with NEVER making people wait. He then asked the kid in public what made him think he was so high and mighty...him and his stupid sinking boat movie. The director then asked him if he was gay, seeing that the scene that was to be shot that day was DiCaprio kissing Cameron Diaz. Scorsese then demanded a public apology and DiCaprio ashamedly did so. Then to top it off Martin instructed the crew that instead of the kissing scene, DiCaprio had to do a boxing scene with Oscar De Leon on a wharf with no stunt double. I know this sounds like a bunch of trashy gossip (no...it is a bunch of trashy gossip ) but the whole transcript of exactly what Scorsese said was in the NY Daily News (or Post) and was so funny I cried.

Bronx King - Congrats on getting made.

You are still the man if we want to push a button on a guy and 'that we do not forget'!!

Gossip it may be - but Scorcese has a reputation
for getting very emotional and all of what you said is possible.

P.s - Loved the bit about the 'stupid sinking boat movie'

LOL

Heh heh heh. I'm looking forward to GONY, but I think that DiCraprio (oops I mean Caprio) is a bad casting choice.

"Stupid sinking boat movie" heh heh I love Scorsese.

PS - Congrats on getting made, BK, you're a great poster.

Scorsese should have made the boxing scene between de Caprio and Jake La Motta! (De Niro)
Congrats on being Made BronxKing!
