>The Irishman became one of the most eagerly anticipated movie projects in development when it was announced that Martin Scorsese would be directing Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and hopefully Joe Pesci in the long mooted crime drama. Based upon Charles Brandt's novel I Heard You Paint Houses, The Irishman tells the story of Frank Sheeran, who on his deathbed claimed to have murdered Jimmy Hoffa. But now producer Gaston Pavlovich has given us another reason to start counting down the months, weeks and days until The Irishman is with us, as he's confirmed that it's going to follow the path recently paved by Rogue One and de-age Robert De Niro.
>Well it's an extraordinary technology that we've been looking at. You don't use prosthetics, make-up, they have acting and the technology is able to have them go through different time ages without the prosthetics. So we've seen some tests and it looks extraordinary. We were able to film Bob and just do a scene, and we saw it come down to when he was like 20, 40, 60, so we're looking forward to that, from that point of view, for The Irishman ... Imagine seeing what De Niro looked like in The Godfather 2 days, that's pretty much how you're going to see him again.
>De-aging CGI. It always looks so fucking bad. Just use a different, same-y looking actor. Million times better
also ITS NEVER COMING OUT
Jacob Davis
I wish I could be de-aged to 20.
Noah Davis
This'll be interesting.
Hey, does anyone know the name of that other movie where Joe Pesci plays a diminutive, short-tempered gangster?
Hudson Bell
>Calling Robert De Niro Bob I realize the guy himself was probably cool with it, but come on, get the fuck out of here with that shit Gaston.
Anthony Taylor
home alone
Aaron Cook
>Joe Pesci He is not going to be in it, he said that a million times
Aiden Hall
He actually prefers Bob.
Anthony Hopkins prefers Tony, and has everyone call him that.
Jeremiah Walker
The great debate
Nathaniel Parker
>no liam neeson
dropped
Easton Fisher
Pacino looks like an ugly woman
Michael Ward
>i just want to fuck my whole film up thanks Scorsese
Oliver Reyes
>He doesn't know everyone calls De Niro either Bob or Bobby D.
Andrew Ross
Do you want to deal with alcoholism when he loses his job at the plant? vs Do you want to deal with his inevitable heroin overdose after a 72hr bender of coke and Sartre?
Gavin Richardson
>De aging CGI. Fucking dropped.
Evan Turner
>watching anyone movie with the good goym Robert De Niro
no thanks.
Logan Gutierrez
>Irishman >All of them are actually Italian
MUH HERITAGE!!!!
Ryan Rodriguez
whats the difference between this and MoCap? can mocap performances be considered actual acting now?
Blake Smith
if they do this it will be such an embarrassment and a stain on the careers of everybody involved. it would be like Heaven's Gate in terms of signaling an end to an era of filmmaking -- "this is what became of New Hollywood."
Lincoln Williams
So you're basically saying...fuggedaboudit!
Jack Garcia
De Niro's ancestry is Irish not Italian.
Brayden Howard
you honestly think anyone of them gives a shit? De Niro's done almost nothing but shit for a decade, Pacino did an Adam Sandler movie, Pesci hasn't given a fuck about acting probably since Lethal Weapon 4.
