They are going to start shooting this October 2014?

I seriously doubt that. Even when they mention a movie is in production meaning they are planing to produce it. It does mean that they will ever make it. Doesn't even mean that it is true.

They actually been talking about making the Irishmen. About 4 months ago deNiro, Pesce, Pacino and scorese were in NY talking about making it. That's how they try to get financing for the movie. They can't get financing there s no movie. That could take three years to start shooting if,,,,,
