Martin Scorsese is on a mission. The director is on the hunt to find the perfect reincarnations of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and he knows exactly who he wants to play the parts. According to Cinematical, he’s got his eyes on Al Pacino and Robert De Niro for the roles.
For the past few years director Martin Scorsese has been joined at the hip with Leonardo DiCaprio churning out critical hit after hit with Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, and most recently Shutter Island. All four films were great in their own right but none of them compare to the magic he created decades ago with Robert De Niro. It’s been a while since we’ve seen these old pals reunite for a great film and according to a recent interview with De Niro he and Marty are currently working on something big. We’re talking Federico Fellini big.
Sacha Baron Cohen may still be stewing over a supporting role in Men in Black 3, but according to Deadline Hollywood he’s already got a part in Martin Scorsese’s latest project. The Oscar winning director has been working on a live action adaptation of the children’s novel, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, and he plans on bringing Cohen, and Shutter Island co-star Ben Kingsley along for the ride.
After his long awaited Oscar win 3 years ago, Martin Scorsese is back behind the camera in his fourth collaboration with his muse Leonardo DiCaprio with Shutter Island. The film was moved back from its original October 2009 release date, due to various marketing strategies and Leo not being able to do any press tours as he was filming Christopher Nolan’s new film Inception. Is this latest collaboration between the two going to match up to Gangs Of New York, The Aviator and the Oscar-Winning The Departed?
