De Niro Takes Aim in Scorsese’s The Irishman Poster

De Niro takes aim in Scorsese’s The Irishman poster

Netflix has revealed the long-lead first poster for Martin Scorsese’s mob epic The Irishman, which stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Harvey Keitel, Bobby Cannavale and Joe Pesci. Check out The Irishman poster in the gallery below!

De Niro headlines The Irishman as mob hitman Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, reputed to have carried out more than 25 murders. Pacino will portray infamously-slain labor leader Jimmy Hoffa in what will mark the Academy Award winner’s first time working with Scorsese. It has also been reported that The Irishman may employ extensive (and expensive) digital de-aging techniques so the older actors can portray their characters through the decades. Pesci, meanwhile, will portray Pennsylvania Mafia boss Russell Bufalino, who may have had a hand in the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. Ray Romano, Anna Paquin, Jesse Plemons, Jack Huston, Stephen Graham, Kathrine Narducci and Domenick Lombardozzi co-star.

Steve Zaillian (Schindler’s List, American Gangster) penned the script based on the novel I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt. Netflix will finance and distribute The Irishman to theaters for an Oscar-qualifying run. De Niro, Fabrica’s Gaston Pavlovich, Jane Rosenthal, Scorcese, Randall Emmett and Emma Tillinger Koskoff produce.
