Will I get my heart broken being hyped for the Irishman?
>Scorsese
>De Niro
>Pacino
>Pesci
>Pacino
>Keitel
And a script adapted from the book by Zaillian. If this were the 90s this would have the potential to be a bonafide gangster classic. Maybe it still does. Scorsese as good as ever. Al can still turn it on when he wants. De Niro has been out of form for a long time though and Pesci has acted like twice in the last 20 years.
sounds like a cashgrab to me
never get hyped for anything
Could be but I feel like it's Netflix's attempt to prove they can make a critically acclaimed film.
They've spent $105 million on it and I can't see them making that back in subscriptions.
Seems more like an investment in industry respect.
Grotesque. De Niro with a bunch of CG bullshit on his face, proving that his loss of talent is total. Al Pacino, disfigured for vanity's sake, unrecognisable as the man he was. Pesci, never really an actor, now an Ent. Scorsese, clapped-out, disillusioned and nearly done, making a cash-in that won't earn. Not my idea of fun.
You take that back, cunt.
>none of them have done good work in the past 20 years
>this time will be different
ok
Naw.
A Mount Rushmore of creative bankruptcy.
Scorsese is as good as ever and he's wanted to make this movie forever. Also sounds like Netflix are just staying on the sidelines and letting him do his thing without interference which is a huge plus. Pacino's had plenty of good performances in the last 20 years although more bad than bad admittedly. Keitel still going strong in small roles, Steve Zaillian is a decent screenwriter and Bobby Cannavale is great. If DeNiro and Pesci channel their old talent this could be superb.
>Will I get my heart broken
Yes.
> If this were the 90s this would have the potential to be a bonafide gangster classic.
Correct. It's just 20 years too late.
None of the principal actors has put out anything good in.. well let's see.
DeNiro. Good lord what a list of crap. The Score and Men of Honor was his tail end performances and that was 2000 and 2001. 17 fucking years of shit movies.
Pacino put in a solid performance in Merchant of Venice. That was 2004. 13 years of shit movies.
I'm actually proud of Pesci for having the sense to stop working. Casino in 95 was probably his last good movie. Lethal Weapon was a last farewell in 98. He only has 3 credits after that.
DeNiro and Pacino last worked together in Righteous Kill, a decade ago. It wasn't good.
What is the fucking point? Scorsese is old and he feels his mortality so he wants to close the book on passion projects he's wanted to do. That means compromising. Compromising gave us a Silence movie with Andrew Garfield. It was supposed to have DDL and Benicio Del Toro.
>What is the fucking point? Scorsese is old and he feels his mortality so he wants to close the book on passion projects he's wanted to do. >That means compromising.
I don't think so. He's making the movie he's always wanted to make with the actors he's had in mine for 14 years. Possibly more considering he may have had stories in mind back when Jimmy Hoffa disappearing was huge news. I think compromising may have been beneficial if he let go the idea that he needed these actors and just looked for people that were younger.
Compromise can often beneficial in the creative process, particularly with film. I think the Irishman could probably benefit from some compromise.
Tbh zallian worries me. A good Marty script needs to be funny. Zallian isn't a funny guy
Pesci looks like fucking shit. He looks like a parrot's scrotum.
Scorsese is planning to out-Righteous Kill Righteous Kill
>pacino having any credibility after doing that dunkin' donuts ad
he isn't a gun actor like he used to be, he just shows up and does the lines now. pretty hyped to see pesci again, he's the only one out of the three with any credibility left.
Don't a lot of them become funny whilst filming?
He was very good in Danny Collins. He can still whip out great roles here and there. I think like De Niro though he's just settled into easy pay cheque mode for the most part.
haven't seem danny collins but i just don't think he has that manic energy that made him so GOAT when he started. i didn't even like his performance in heat and i think for him to throw his entire weight behind a performance would probably kill him. de niro has straight up lost it and doesn't have the faintly threatening laid back air he naturally exuded for so long. pesci on the other hand i have no idea what he's been up to since his big roles and i think because he's been so selective he can still immerse himself into that psychopathic energy without it feeling forced.
> pesci on the other hand i have no idea what he's been up to since his big roles
I remembered reading somewhere he took time off to help transvestites victims of assault.
Seriously.
>It was supposed to have DDL and Benicio Del Toro.
jesus christ dont remind me, garfield and adam driver are such incredibly bad actors I couldn't even finish silence
ITS DUNKACINO
More like Dunk-a-Kino
fuck off
>works of fiction, only a fool etc etc
