Online Series: De Niro, Pacino, Pesci and Martin Scorsese "The Irishman"

[ORRFForever]

For me keitel has taken more challenges then both Bobby and Pacino

Fair enough. I've just always found his acting "hammy".

 

[BrockLobster]

I guess there werent any irish actors available?

Had to be that guy.

Yeah. Good point. Still, it's a small price to pay to see this "crew" together.

I think this movie will be the last stand for many of those involved in the sense that lot of the main guys, their greatness is in the past and I think this will be their last kick at a great movie.

I just hope it does not suck

The book is so great. If they stick to that premise it will be a fantastic film.

 

[Baby Punisher]

For me Keitel, bobby d, Pacino.. will be interesting if they bring their A game or mail it in for a paycheck.

I doubt Marty would allow that to happen.

Robert De Niro's surprising Irish ancestry

Sheeran was born in New Jersey. He probably never even stepped foot in Ireland in his life. It's really not a big deal.

It will also be the last good mob movie.

If the trailer is any indication, it will be a great one.

Either way, even if it is just "okay", I'm going to enjoy every minute.

I have heard about Michael Franchese's life being turned into a movie. That could have promise.

This group trying to pull off Irish might be interesting...or bad.

I have heard about Michael Franchese's life being turned into a movie. That could have promise.

That would be awesome - as arguably one of the "richest" to ever be in the mob, I've always wondered why they never did his story (mind you theres so many capos/bosses they should do) especially because he got out of the life & went straight, plus his gas scam was pretty notable.

What I meant tho was that the golden generation of mob actors are all 70+ now and this will be their last hurrah. Nobody will ever to play mob guys the way Pacino, De Niro, Pesci, Hill etc did. Scorsese won't be around forever either. Future movies may very well be good but we'll never have the same quality, but thats life.

It is a long story to tell. Sounds like a lot of former feds lining up to poke holes in the view he killed Hoffa. The main one being that the guy Bobby D is playing nearly always worked alone.


Slate.com has a good take on his claims

It came out on august 7th

Two trailers dropped earlier and a plethora of videos on YouTube arguing how close the movie is to the truth

the funny thing is I grabbed the link after reading the article so that I could send it to my dad as he worked for philadelphia electric back in the early 70's so I thought he might know or have heard of some of the names from philly but after posting it here I forgot to send it to him until I saw this post.
