Will this be like Manchester by the Sea or Beasts of No Nation?

Why would this take that long? It sounds like production will be starting soon.

Will this be like Manchester by the Sea or Beasts of No Nation? It's going straight to streaming per the article with a limited qualify release pending thereafter This is just overall very strange and it's apparent Silence caused tension between Paramount and Scorsese (Though, he still has another picture deal with them-- assuming Devil in White City) The script is fine-- if a bit derivative and dark-- but it still had solid commercial aspects

Still wish that this wasn't happening, but this is still a great get for Netflix. Hopefully they'll manage it better than Paramount.

Looks like Netflix is trying to get into the Oscar game, now that Amazon has had some success. Can't wait.

Netflix has acquired worldwide rights to Martin Scorsese’s gangster movie “The Irishman,” starring Robert De Niro.
Netflix would not comment on the deal but sources close to the project confirmed a report by IndieWire.
“The Irishman” will be the ninth collaboration between Scorsese and De Niro. Steven Zaillian has written the script, based on the Charles Brandt’s 2004 book, “I Heard You Paint Houses,” which centered on the life of the mob hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran.
Scorsese and De Niro first partnered on 1973’s “Mean Streets,” followed by “Taxi Driver,” “New York, New York,” “Raging Bull,” “The King of Comedy,” “Goodfellas,” “Cape Fear” and 1995’s “Casino.”
Production on “The Irishman” is expected to start later this year.
The project originated in 2008 at Paramount with De Niro’s Tribeca Productions and De Niro’s producing partner Jane Rosenthal along with Scorsese’s Sikelia Productions.
Edit: Later this year? DAMN! I expected as camera will start rolling this summer allready? What the hell is going on again?

Is the budget really going to be 100m? That seems preposterous for a Netflix production.

Glad to see Netflix being a bit more ambitious in regards to their film slate, but I wish they would be more like amazon and aquire great indies.

Is the budget really going to be 100m? That seems preposterous for a Netflix production. From another source. According to insiders, Netflix is negotiating to acquire worldwide rights to The Irishman in a deal believed to be in the $100m range. It is understood the budget has shot up as Scorsese plans to use costly effects to render a younger version of his cast, which includes old collaborator Robert De Niro. Stx International reportedly paid $50m last summer for international sales rights, while Paramount currently holds Us rights. However the studio’s leadership issues may have weakened its hand, and disappointing Us box office on Scorsese’s erstwhile awards hope Silence will have given Netflix further ammunition in a bid for all rights. Edit: So it seems like $50m just for to get rights on making movie from that book?! WOW. Is 100m some extreme for Neflix? I have no clue to be honest.

Another thing which just crossed my mind as why they couldnt use original title: I Heard You Paint Houses if they payed 50m allready just for rights? Its much more badass title than some Irishman. Irishman actually almost exists as title of movie here: www.imdb.com/title/tt1416801/?ref_=nv_sr_2 is it similar story or not? Wondering if I should check it out or not?

So this means we don't get world wide release in theaters?

So how would this be Oscar eligible if it's for a streaming company? I hate Netflix as it wasn't made for tv and fck watching films on your phone or tablet rather than a big screen.

Pavan Looks like it, unfortunately. So how would this be Oscar eligible if it's for a streaming company? I hate Netflix as it wasn't made for tv and fck watching films on your phone or tablet rather than a big screen. It's eligible if they give it a qualifying theater run, which they no doubt will. Beasts of No Nation got one and was eligible for awards consideration (which is why Elba got a Globe nomination and won SAG), but the problem with Netflix is that they go directly against the current system: by making their films available on their platform on the same day they hit cinemas, they're giving theater chains the finger. There's usually a 90-day window in which films play only in theaters before they're available on VOD/home media, and when Netflix eliminate that window, they drastically diminish theatrical grosses. That's why I don't see any Netflix film doing terribly well at the Oscars beyond Best Documentary anytime soon: the Academy doesn't seem keen to throw a bone to a distributor that's going against the grain and shaking up the whole industry model. Amazon doesn't do that (their films all play in theaters for a long time before they're available to stream), and that's why they had so much success this year. I guess Scorsese is as likely as anyone to deliver the first Netflix original that breaks through in the main categories, but after the cold shoulder they gave to Silence, I'm not too confident he'll pull it off.

Is 100m some extreme for Neflix? I have no clue to be honest. I don't see where it talk for the movie adaptation rights, from a quick read the 50 million for the rights of international distribution is buying the international revenue from a Scorsese movie in advance, that is pretty common for movie like that to pre-sales market to reduce risk. Has for the 100m extreme for Netflix, that is what they paid for the Elizabeth 2 series, Netflix revenue in 2016 were of 8.8 billion, HBO was 5.6 billion in 2015, Warner Brothers studio was of 9.9 billion without video game revenue. If they are not already, they will become the bigger spender on content in the world, bigger than the studios.

That sucks. Well I'm glad it gets made, but I want to watch it on the big screen. Hopefully it gets some kind of theatrical release.

Wow. Remember when everyone thought Sandler's career was over when he made his deal? That was the smartest thing he did.
Amazon and netflix are serious about winning best picture and I guess it depends on who will be first. My money is on amazon. Both have tons of cash and are not afraid to use it.

Wow. Remember when everyone thought Sandler's career was over when he made his deal? That was the smartest thing he did. I'm not sure about anyone. Pixels over performed by a good amount overseas (Sony was not even running scenario were it was making more than 152 million) and if the rumored 90 million budget is close to the truth that was a good money maker (the box office break even point was estimated around 210 million WW with a 119 million net budget, on a 90 it must have been significantly lower than 190), Grown Up 2 was extremely profitable. I think most suspected he got an extremely good deal with Netflix, and not that surprised that is Netflix movies are the number one movie in Netflix history in many market. He was still a redbox/home video giant when he made that deal. He must have a lot of liberties on what he do and has completely removed box office pressure/press coverage for himself.

Don't count on it. Netflix doesn't get along well with cinema chains.
