"some talk" of using special effects to give them a younger look is scary. How de niro will pull off being a 30 something gangster is just ridiculous. bufalino and an older hoffa i could understand, but these guys are still old. the problem is, goodfellas and casino set the bar high and while i love de niro and pacino, they're way past their prime.

Did you see DeNiro in The Family they show him before he became a rat. He looked a lot younger in that scene.

a bit younger, sure...but to play a 30 year old rising up the teamster ranks is ridiculous. i hope this movie is great but pacino isn't nearly the same actor as he once was.

Pacino is a lot more versatile actor then DeNiro in my oppionion. But it is true some actors lose it when they get older.

Look at Rod Steiger he was a little older when he made it big. But he did lose it when he got older.

I think the same thing was true with Paul Newmen. Fantastic when he was young. Not so great when he got older.

I think De Niro is more versatile than Pacino.

Has Pacino ever had a strong role in a comedy for example?

De Niro has had several.

He has more in his locker.

Pacino is too shouty.

Lanza's Mob is being written by this freak:

Christina Ann-Marie DiEdoardo was born in Queens, N.Y. in 1969. After completing her undergraduate work at the University of Missouri-Columbia in journalism and political science, Christina spent a decade as a newspaper reporter before embracing the Dark Side and attending law school. She became the first person to undergo a gender transition in the history of the William S. Boyd School of Law while a student and she remains the only openly Trans attorney licensed to practice law in Nevada. After passing the California Bar Exam in 2008, she relocated to San Francisco in 2009, where she currently resides and practices criminal defense at her own firm. She also serves as a contract public defender in Lake County, California.

When not straightening out her clients' misunderstandings with law enforcement, Christina enjoys historical research and writing. Her first nonfiction book-"Lanza's Mob: The Mafia and San Francisco" will be published in mid-2016 by Praeger

"Has Pacino ever had a strong role in a comedy for example?"

Has DeNiro ever done Shakespeare smile?

"DeNiro has had several."

Evidently DeNiro needs money. He is making a lot more movies then he used to some are total crap. Like the one with him and travolta. How about the one with him and Stallone there are crap.

lol. I noticed that too and I knew it would create a stir. As long as the book's good, I don't care. But $37 being the pre-order price, for 186 pages? I'll bet everything in this book can be obtained through google searches. So far it looks bad. Her personal life aside, she's not even from SF, or even the west coast. She's a NY academic and she's clearly trying to cash on uncharted territory in mob literature, San Francisco. Maybe to pay for that operation? tehe.

De Niro is actually very well off with his real estate development and properties. he owns quite a bit in soho and his son is one of nyc's power brokers, he and his wife have a very successful real estate brokerage firm and own quite a few buildings in manhattan. hes not hurting financially in any way

after a year, the book could be bought for $.01 on amazon. imo, there is a certain poster who is an amazing researcher who should have done the SF project. 186 pages? how comprehensive could that be?

I actually downloaded the free preview to my Kindle app, and it looks somewhat interesting. The chapters seem to hit every angle. Just, at 186 pages, I can't see how expansive the chapters could possibly be. I think I'll take your advice and wait till it comes down to $.01 on amazon, or until a library gets it.

Is there any connection between these recent posts and "The Irishman"? I don't know what's being talked about, but I keep clicking on the thread because it looks like someone has added something about The Irishman.

A little bit of thunder in showbiz media this week.

So far, plan is for late 2018 release, filming to take place next year. DeNiro will play younger Sheeran as well as old. He jokes about "Benjamin Button" technology.

Just finished Charles Brandt's book a couple of days ago. I loved it, can't wait for the movie.

I just can't see Pacino playing Hoffa, love Pacino but can't imagine him as Hoffa..

Agree, Billy. Pacino's acting is hit and miss. It's either really great, or really bad. And I get the feeling Pacino as Hoffa is going to be bad. But, if it were anyone other than Scorsese directing, and DeNiro in the starring role, I would probably be a lot more worried. lol.

Someone here made a good point that Pesci allowed them to throw his name around to secure the financing. Now that they have it, he's bailing, staying retired.

i can't believe pesci is passing. joe is my favorite mob actor. he can do the role in his sleep. watched him in J.F.K. as david ferrie. joe managed to get the new Orleans accent down until his character has a few explosive moments and it is classic pesci.

Pesci's midwest accent in Casino was the first thing I noticed when seeing it at the theater. At first I thought it was going to be annoying, but right off the bat he's delivering those funny one liners in his narration.

Pacino is playing Hoffa? Are you kidding? Nobody can touch Nicholson as Hoffa.

Pesci was in "The Good Shepherd" for about 30 seconds and he stole the whole movie.

And, this could be trouble. They already had a deal with other distributors, then went behind their back, after the deals were complete, to sign a universal deal with Netflix, which might not even be legal. This could all end up in court. I hope it doesn't delay filming.
