I think if Frank Vincent was alive during filming, it's very probable he would have gotten a small part. As for Pesci, if you read the book, it's really clear if he survives or not.

Good decision. But no way Soderbergh's movie wasn't ready. He probably finished editing an hour after they wrapped shooting. And after Scorsese barely made the deadline with Wolf and Silence, it's good to see nobody is rushing him this time (but he's super slow during the editing stage these days). As for the de-aging, we always compare the thing to recent examples like the Marvel movies, but didn't they mention back then that Pablo Helman and his guys are working with some brand new technology that hasn't been used before? Mattsby mentioned De Niro is wearing blue contact lenses. I think, if you look at the set pictures, he's wearing them in all the scenes in which they probably won't de-age him, while in others he doesn't seem to have them in (I could be wrong though). But Pacino seems to get the CGI-treatment for the whole movie, as he's wearing those little dots also during (possible SPOILER!!!) what is potentially his last scene, aka The Last Ride of Jimmy Hoffa. De Niro playing 55 year old Sheeran without special effects, while Pacino gets some help playing 62 year old Hoffa. Which makes me wonder: Apart from de-aging him, are they trying to make Al look more like Jimmy also?

Poll: Do you more looking forward to de-aged part or when they get older without special effects? Well I'd have to say the de-aged parts are the film - so if it works, it'll be something entirely new and different and fascinating. What I'm most looking forward to is something the is inherent in the 2 GOAT level actors and that is Pacino has always been a far more emotional actor than De Niro and De Niro has always been far less sentimental in playing emotional scenes. That has always been the case - in fact people who argue one over the other would argue for them either way based on that alone even. Everyone always links them but there are far more differences than similarities between them as actors.........in this film if anyone has to be the emotional actor it is the regretful De Niro and Pacino you would think has less "Pacino" emotive scenes ...........so that's fascinating to me. Interesting twist in a way and the talk is all surface level BS - people say stupid things like I'm not excited about Scorsese doing another mob movie even though it's unlike any they can name............on paper at least.

He just looks much older than De Niro. Honestly, I don't think he looks that much older than Bobby Milk. But I'm probably just being deceived by his "natural" hair color and his overall Dali-meets-fading-Rock-Star appearance 😂

The Three Amigos I don't know in what circumstances this picture was taken, but it seems like it was rather recently. What the hell are they doing? Why does De Niro sit so upright while having to shoulder the burden of the Trump presidency all by himself? Who's the short guy in the middle? Carl Fredricksen from Up? What is Pesci keeping under his hat? I like this one... One guy sits one way, the other guy sits the other way, and this guy's sayin', "Whadda ya want from me?'

Here's a clip from a THR interview in which they talk a little bit about the gestation of The Irishman (after the 5min mark). Nothing surprising, but I didn't know they were that close to a green light for that other hitman movie they had been working on (almost certainly The Winter of Frankie Machine) before deciding to go with an adaptation of 'Paint Houses' instead.
Regarding the upcoming Tribeca Talk between Scorsese and De Niro, they mentioned they're gonna show clips from all of their nine films, which would also include The Irishman. We'll see, I doubt it for the moment, Bobby D. never seems to be that informed when it comes to what's actually going on with the festival other than making promo for it and mumbling something before looking at Rosenthal and wanting her to continue (these days he seems to be almost chatty though, with his favorite subjects Trump and orange jump suits..).

Really wish they could have made Frankie Machine back then... I guess they needed a writer who could have spared it down and done it without all the flashbacks (like Friedkin's low budget version would have done)... And it's not like De Niro would be sick of playing hitmen since The Irishman still would've taken another decade plus after Frankie Machine got released. Also wonder if Mann was attached at the point De Niro talked about... or if he hopped on board after De Niro balked at the green light.

Aw, is the Friedkin one not happening anymore? It was announced what... 3 or 4 years ago? Haven't heard a stitch of news on it since. Yeah, thinking about it took them so long to get The Irishman going they could have made both of them. Mann hopped on board in late 2007 (https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/mann-de-niro-make-frankie-machine/), so De Niro maybe brought him in after Scorsese decided to not follow through with it. It's just guesswork, but I think Scorsese is the main reason it took so long for their next collaboration, especially after De Niro left him out in the rain when he walked away from Gangs of NY. The Koppelman/Levien script Scorsese was working on used to be online. It's a shame Friedkin wasn't able to direct another movie again (other than that documentary) after it seemed like he had a chance at a career resurgence after the critical success of Killer Joe. I've never heard about Frankie Machine again, other than Friedkin mentioning he thought about casting McConaughey or Walton Goggins in the lead (which is a terrible idea imo). deadline.com/2015/08/william-friedkin-q-and-a-70s-moviemaking-tales-of-glory-and-reckless-abandon-1201491441/

www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/meet-martin-scorseses-secret-weapon-new-york-1200104Really great article about Emma Koskoff, head of production at Scorsese's company and his "right hand on set." Article talks specifics regarding The Irishman shoot and locations, and at the end some very useful info for filmmakers. A good producer - one that gets stuff done - is indispensable. They're often unsung too, like how many households know the name Emma Koskoff? None. I like how the article likens her duty on set sometimes as "camp counselor" bc if you've ever been lucky enough to be on a big set that's kind of exactly how it feels at times. Producers and Assistant Directors, others too of course, they deserve major cred on these types of projects, they get things going on set while the director is huddled with the actor or DP. Also...... at one point Louis Malle was her step-uncle ?!
