“A lot can happen in a lifetime” and by the first comprehensive look at  Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman that certainly true. 

With a little help from de-aging technology applied to the film’s star, we get to see Robert De Niro as mob enforcer Frank Sheeran from his mid-20s to his 80s. The film also stars Joe Pesci as the ruthless crime syndicate boss, Russell Bufalino, and Al Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa.

The trailer dropped during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Wednesday night. De Niro spoke with Fallon about the de-aging process saying, “They didn’t want it to get in our way. And Marty didn’t want that … They had all kinds of cameras taking pictures, a special camera photographing us.”

The Irishman was penned by Schinder’s List and Gangs of New York scribe Steven Zaillia. Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, and Jesse Plemons also star in the film. 

The Irishman premieres on Netflix November 27. Watch the trailer below!

Martin Scorsese’s new movie The Irishman is one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year, and the critics won’t have to wait to see it much longer. The crime drama will serve as the opening film at this year’s New York Film Festival.

Director and selection committee chair Kent Jones described Scorsese’s latest directorial effort as “rich, funny, troubling, entertaining and absolutely singular” film, and couldn’t wait to share the amazing news with the public.

“It’s the work of masters, made with a command of the art of cinema that I’ve seen very rarely in my lifetime, and it plays out at a level of subtlety and human intimacy that truly stunned me. All I can say is that the minute it was over my immediate reaction was that I wanted to watch it all over again,” said Jones in a press release.

The Irishman will open the festival on September 27th, and its theatrical release date is yet to be set.

Scorsese’s passion project centers on hitman Frank Sheeran and the crucial moments that defined his mob career. It stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and Bobby Cannavale.

The standalone Joker movie is offering a brand-new take on the beloved comic book villain – and we finally know what it’s going to look like. First poster and teaser trailer for this highly-anticipated movie starring Joaquin Phoenix have been revealed during CinemaCon.

As it usually goes with first teasers, this one doesn’t reveal much, but it was enough to get fans excited. It did, however, give us a general vibe of the movie that, according to the director Todd Phillips, is still taking shape.

This gripping teaser has been described as an homage to Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, which certainly isn’t a coincidence. After all, the Joker movie just happens to star Robert De Niro, who played the lead roles in both of these classics.

This film will serve as the origin story of Gotham’s clown prince of crime, and it offers a series of snippets into his past before he fully embraces his villainous persona. It’s safe to expect that future trailers will reveal more about actual plot, but we’ll have to wait until October 4 to see this movie in full.

Robert De Niro and wife, Grace Hightower have called it quits.

Multiple sources report that the 75-year-old actor and his 62-year-old wife, have decided to go their separate ways after more than 20 years together.

This isn’t De Niro and Hightower’s first separation. In 1999 De Niro filed for divorce but eventually, the couple decided to reignite their marriage rather than sign the divorce papers. In 2004 they renewed their vows at their New York State property in front of family, friends and a crowd of A-listers.

A source close to the couple told PEOPLE that the two have separated. “Sometimes things don’t work out the way you hope or want them to,” the source added. According to Page Six, who was the first to break the news, De Niro has moved out of the family home and is no longer living with his wife and daughter.

The couple met in London in the early ‘90s and after dating for a decade they married. They share two children together: 20-year-old son Elliott and 7-year-old daughter Helen. De Niro has four other children from previous relationships.

Ever since DC announced Joker stand-alone movie starring Joaquin Phoenix, fans couldn’t wait to learn more about it. Casting news are finally in, and it seems like Robert De Niro will be joining DC Cinematic Universe.

Two-time Oscar winner is in talks to join Phoenix, but there’s a lot of mystery surrounding his role. At this point, we only know he’d be playing a talk show host who is instrumental in the Joker’s origin.

Joker movie is only one of promising new projects on his resume. De Niro will go back to his roots in The Irishman, directed by Martin Scorsese – the same man who helped him rise to prominence. His classics Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy reportedly served as “tonal watchword” for the upcoming DC film. Long story short – De Niro’s involvement would be an amazing meta-reference if he eventually says “Yes.”

Goodfellas star isn’t the only one who might be joining the cast of Joker stand-alone movie. Deadpool 2 breakout Zazie Beetz and American Horror Story actress Frances Conroy may also become part of the cast. Beetz would play a single mother who catches the Joker’s interest, while Conroy would star in as his actual mother.

Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were spotted filming scenes from their upcoming movie, The Irishman, directed by Martin Scorsese in the Bronx, New York.

De Niro plays the role of Frank Sheeran,  a mob hitman who is suspected to be associated with the Bufalino crime family and alleged killer of Jimmy Hoffa, a labor union chief who went missing in the 1970s. It is said that Sheeran carried out 25 murders throughout his life as a hitman, according to Metro.

De Niro was seen wearing shoes with thick platform to help combat his shortness. He is 5.8 feet inches in real life, only an inch taller than Pacino, who portrays Hoffa in the film.

Sheeran, nicknamed “The Irishman,” and Hoffa had a big height difference so De Niro had to wear a special pair of shoes to tower over Pacino.

De Niro and Pacino have both starred in The Godfather: Part II in 1970s, Heat in 1995 and Righteous Kill in 2008.

The upcoming film, which is due for release in 2018, marks a reunion between De Niro, Scorsese, and Joe Pesci. The crime drama also stars Anna Paquin and Bobby Cannavale. The project is based on the book, I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brand, released in 2004.
