The Irishman - Netflix Official Teaser

New production stills from Martin Scorsese’s forthcoming gangster film The Irishman have been revealed.

The Irishman unites actors Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci for the first time in a Scorsese film since 1995's Casino.

It has been Scorsese’s most expensive project to date as lots of CGI was required to make the 75-year-old De Niro look like a 30-year-old for scenes set in 1959. It is also his longest movie with a runtime of three and a half hours.

New images of De Niro and Stephen Graham in character have been revealed, which you can check out below.

Based on Charles Brandt’s book I Heard You Paint Houses, The Irishman marks the ninth collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese – and they’ve also set plans to work on a tenth project alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

The Irishman will be available to stream on Netflix in November with a limited theatrical release expected in order to permit the film to compete at next year’s Oscars.
