I'm sure Liotta will be in the Family secrets movie as someone. I agree with the other guys also.

I doubt any of them will be in it. Tbh i've not got high expectations for it.


They got a solid director and one of the best screenwriters for this movie.

Also I was thinking about something. If Gandolfini doesn't do it, I wouldn't mind seeing the guy that played Richie Aprile in The Sopranos take the role as Frank Calabrese Sr.

Domenick Lombardozzi, of Wire fame.

I've not seen any of the movies he's written the screenplay for so which ones make him one of the best? I've only seen one film which the director made Pleasantville but i watched it when i was very young and can barely rsmember it.

I agree with you about Richie great character and actor playing him he should've lasted more than a season .

I don't blame you it doesn't look like we're going to get a mafia movie of this quality anytime soon in all honesty i don't think there's been any type of film as good since.

I thought the Departed was okay. However, when it received such (in my opinion) undeserved praise, I actually found myself hating it.

A good and ACCURATE Boston crime movie is 'Monument Ave.' or as its also known, 'Snitch'.

That's exactly how i felt about it it's a good movie but it's definitely not the Scorcese film that deserved the Oscar it's probably my 5th or 6th favourite film of his.

When youre getting down to the 5th or 6th ranking I don't think it can be considered a 'favourite' tongue It had some of the most frustrating and distracting editing, and it didn't have a vibe or atmosphere. It was so bland. Every time people talk about it I always feel the need to trash it so I'll stop now.

Yes you have seen the movies that the screenwriter for the Chicago outfit Family Secrets movie has been involved in.....

Pileggi began his career as a journalist and had a profound interest in the Mafia. He is best known for writing Wiseguy: Life in a Mafia Family (1986), which he adapted into the movie Goodfellas (1990), and for writing Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas and the subsequent screenplay for Casino (1995). The movie versions of both were co-written and directed by Martin Scorsese. Pileggi also wrote the screenplay for the fictional City Hall (1996), starring Al Pacino. He served as an Executive Producer of American Gangster (2007), a biographical crime film based on the criminal career of Frank Lucas, starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe and directed by Ridley Scott. He is also the author of Blye, Private Eye (1987).

Pileggi cowrote the pilot of the CBS television series Vegas which first aired in September, 2012.

That doesn't make any sense. Pillegi has always been a screenplay writer or co-writer. I am not doubting you , just giving my opinion that it is odd to see him produce a movie. I can tell you one thing though, he will have a strong influence on how the screenplay is written.

You can't though maybe he will contribute to the script but the fact is Scorcese has already adapted his 2 famous books he's an exec producer on this project i've already shown who the writer is NP will have no impact imo.
