Martin Scorsese's Film "The Irishman" Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, & maybe Joe Pecsi

[KingsOfKings]

Mobster movie mastermind Martin Scorsese’s next project, “The Irishman,” will feature Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino, but his old friend Joe Pesci reportedly wants nothing to do with the film.

Pesci, who hasn’t been on the big screen since 2010’s relatively unknown “Love Ranch,” “repeatedly has told Scorsese no” regarding involvement in the flick, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

However, the director is still “hopeful” that Pesci can be persuaded to reunite with DeNiro, with whom he has starred alongside in three Scorsese movies — “Raging Bull,” “Goodfellas” and “Casino.”

“The Irishman” is the film adaptation of Charles Brandt’s book “I Heard You Paint Houses,” and revolves around Frank Sheeran (DeNiro), who shockingly was a union guy with mob connections and was even tied to the death of Jimmy Hoffa.

Joe turns down everyone, he most recently turned down doing Louis CK's new TV show, he told Louis his standup was terrible but his writing for the show was good.

What's the deal with joe?

He's probably got that Sean Connery/Gene Hackman mindset where he finds retirement too enjoyable to give up. I don't think he even showed up for any events surrounding Goodfellas 25th anniversary.

Movie probably gonna be garbage

I think Joe Pesci feels he's done everything he wanted to do in his career. He's made millions of dollars, has a nice beach house on the Jersey Shore, is probably making enough in residuals that he doesn't have to touch his real money. Why bother,

he's just trying to preserve his legacy. Glad he has some sense and didn't go the deniro and pacino route. dirty grandpa

pesci retired after lethal weapon 4 for the most part. he don't need the money, and he's 70+, so he don't give a fukk. just like connery and hackman.

as for this film, these cats are flabby as fukk. pacino is well past his prime and looks crazy cuz of the excessive plastic surgery. deniro is still doing quality projects for the most part tho.
