De Niro announces on Fallon that The Irishman is going ahead and will star De Niro, Pesci, Pacino and possibly Keitel.

Still no official confirmation though.

He came out of retirement for The Good Shepherd and that movie with Helen Mirren, so he could come back for this - but I agree, too much time has passed. All the main players are too old for this.

Quote:
“It’s Steve Zaillian writing, and Bob and I are working out the schedule and the financing,” Scorsese said. Asked about the idiosyncrasies of film financing, he added, “If you’e doing well, you can do another film if (1) you agree with the subject matter and (2) if it’s a film that others want. If it’s a film you want to do with a few friends, you have to find a way to do it.”

There's an article where De Niro talks about how they're possibly going to use some Benjamin button type technology on him as well as the other cast mates so they look younger. Him and Scorsese are very adamant about it happening and De Niro said in that same interview that they should start filming sometime next year. Like the quote above says, it seems like it's just about scheduling at the moment but it'll get resolved soon from what De Niro and Scorsese have said.

As login as Scorsese is directing I think it very well could. The most important part of the movie is the director. Obviously the writers and actors play an integral part as well. But a huge indication of what movie will be great and what movie won't is the director who is behind the movie.

I've found out that it seems Gus Russo is going to be a technical/research adviser on the film. So expect a lot of JFK conspiracy ho-ha.

I'm avoiding reading the book because you don't read a book that a Scorsese movie is based on before seeing the movie. You just don't do it.

Scheduled to start shooting in January.

I'm guessing Thanksgiving or Christmas release, 2017.

Hopefully it's a go now. There's no way this movie doesn't go down as one of the all time greats. Probably the last time the whole "gang" would make a movie together. Can't wait.

You should read the book, because the screenplay is going to be completely different I'd stake a lot on it. The book honestly reads fairly dry, although filled with what generally feels like accurate to semi-accurate information throughout. There are some very bold claims that also seem as thought they could be true but, would be historic if they were. That being said none of it jumps off the page (i.e. Nick Pileggi's Wiseguy is the Goodfellas screenplay nearly copied) this will all be reworked to be told better than the book conveys it. They book tells a very dull but potentially accurate detail of how Hoffa died and who participated doing the same with the Joe Gallo murder. I doubt the movie will combo over that as calmly as the book did.

The only way I can see this being screwed up is if Scorsese relies on the crass humor and gratuitous sex like he did with Wolf of Wall Street. It's about the Hoffa hit, for crying out loud. Let the story tell itself.

That is genuinely heart breaking. Pesci might have felt wronged at some point. We have to remember these celebs are people too. sometimes it's just one comment made to the press taken the wrong way, one line in a movie that the actor wanted but the director didn't...then add to that the large egos rich and famous people already have. It doesn't take much. Hope Pesci reconsiders.

On a positive note, the story comes from The Hollywood Reporter, which only claims "sources say". It's basically hearsay at this point.

Originally they needed all those names to get financing for this movie. Now they have the financing.

He might not have liked the screen play for his character in this movie.

He is not one of the two main stars of this movie. He is a supporting actor for that matter so is Kietel.

Pesci got jerked around on the original deal for this movie that years ago before Cannes. As well as the Travolta/Gotti movie that hasn't yet panned out. He sued on the Gotti movie and won like 3 million b/c he had to gain weight and they never got the ball rolling in the film.

He did The Good Shepard, that CIA/Cold War spy thriller in '06 where he plays a fictitious version of Carlos Marcello. He also did that brothel true story, Love Ranch in '11 I believe but as of now he is closer to fully retired than semi-retired from film. If The Irishman being green-lite isn't worth it for him, surely he's happier away from acting, maybe it's for the best and somebody else steals the role in memorable fashion.
I believe Pesci was to be casted as Bufalino, that could become a very classic character if done correctly, I'm very interested to see who is cast instead in what could be the role of the film in all likelihood, depending on which themes of the book the film decides to adapt.

They only got half the money they wanted/needed. I don't know that this played a role in Pesci stepping away at all, and I like your theory that he may've just been attached in name only to easier "sell" the film and reach a financing deal. Regardless, he was to play Bufalino which seems like it would've been a main role with the dynamic between Bufalino and Sherran in the book. With Pacino playing Hoffa I'm curious who may be cast as Angelo Bruno, Joey Glimco, and if they do the Gallo murder scene

I think they can pull this off. First of all both actors are still in pretty good shape. Very good shape for their age. Plus their was talk of using special effects to give them a younger look in parts of this movie.

Too bad they are all afraid to invest some of their own money to make it work.
