That's quite some cast! Right up my ally this. When will this be on Netflix?

 

[cesc's_mullet]

Will be the hype job movie of the year. I really hope it delivers.

It's been pushed back to second half of 2019. At a guess, around September.

Between this and Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood coming out in May, this could be a massive year!

Ah yes I had completely forgotten about that one.

De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, Keittel...

That cast is also insane

 

[Sweet Square]

Hope it's somewhat good. The older I get the more disinterested I'm of Scorsese films.

De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, Keittel...

Familiar with Cannavale at all? He's going to be a standout in this. He beat Peter Dinklage and Aaron Paul, respectively to get best supporting actor at the Emmy's in 2013.


Also, Stephen Graham. He's actually a scouser, but oddly enough does perhaps the best Capone I've ever seen. At least three of the cast for this movie have been picked directly due to their work in Boardwalk Empire.

Yeah I know him. Have seen him over a lot over the years but admittedly he was still very “small”/supporting in those roles.

None of the most recent things that he’s won awards for are series I watch, tbh. But yeah, great cast.

 

[Ian Reus]

Always a bit meh of a new Scorsese movie these days but I'll keep my powder dry until the first batch of critical reviews though.

 

[Hoof the ball]

With a Tarantino and a Scorsese movie coming out in the same year, could we be potentially looking at another year like in 2007 where we got There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men?

 

[Ronaldo's ego]

Not enough star power for me

 

[SirAF]

Oh shit!

 

[Hoof the ball]

Not enough star power for me

Is that the Hollywood equivalent of "needs to bulk up"?

 

[Henrik Larsson]

He was also great once upon a time in The Station Agent together with Peter Dinklage

Pretty short film

Not sure about the look of that de-aging in the trailer. Marvel films have pulled it off really well recently but that looked a bit fake.

 

[12OunceEpilogue]

The hype and huge starry names could crush it if the script isn't first rate, a bit like Righteous Kill ending up a very very poor man's Heat. But I'm interested for sure.

It’ll age (pardon the pun) really badly if we can already see it looks weird...which it does. Especially if it’s going to be a significant part of the film, which again, it looks like being.

It doesn’t look remotely like a younger De Niro. It looks like an old De Niro, just with a creepily smooth face...there’s been no attempt to account for the fact that people’s features get larger as they age, only an artificial skin ‘tightening’ which looks more like soft focus than ‘De-aging’.... which is a shame, cos it looks pretty good otherwise.

 

[VorZakone]

Really looking forward to this. Recent mob movies have been underwhelming (Black Mass & The Iceman).

 

[Dr. Dwayne]

De Niro, Pacino, Pesci, Keittel...

And Ray fecking Romano

WTF Marty?

Was clearly going down a list of Italian names and went " he might be good "

 

[Massive Spanner]

The faces really don't look great in the trailer. 4 hours of looking at CGI'd faces of 3 really old guys could be a bit shit.

Im with you somewhat as I though BM was decent.

But the reviewer is a fool and a loser.

If it aint Xan, Bradshaw or Shoard then it may as well have been written in the truck on it's way to the landfill.

 

[Mockney]

That CGi is going to look horrific in a few years time. They’ve smoothed the wrinkles, but haven’t accounted for the old man eye droppyness or nose and ear growth etc, so they all look like 70 year olds with weird skin grafts rather than genuinely “younger”... hopefully you just kind of forget about it after a while when actually watching.

I mean, this isn’t what De Niro looked like in his 30s... it’s what he looks like now, only smoother.

Yeah it's a weird one. Even watching that trailer I was thinking how will I sit through nearly 4 hours of this, staring at a CGId 70 year old.

Surely the newest season of True Detective showed us that it's way easier to make a younger actor look old than vice versa. Maybe Scorsese was set on having De Niro, Pacino and Pesci, and to be fair I won't be complain about seeing any of those in a Scorsese film but it does seem like a big, expensive gamble.

 

[Sweet Square]

He looks like a video game character.

What movie is that pic from again? Seems familiar

Joking!

Where's the white text? Feck sake.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

I've not watched as many many De Niro and Scoresese movies as I should have but going through both of their filmography, it's rather odd how many times they've worked together .I mean, what the feck is up with that?

He's also worked alot with DiCaprio.

He finds a good actor, and actor that sells movies, and goes back to them again and again. I imagine its not actually that rare if you dug into it
