When Robert De Niro first told us of his plans with Martin Scorsese to shoot a sort of meta-companion film to their upcoming organized crime tale, "The Irishman," we were stumped.
The idea, De Niro explained, was to make a second film that was "reminiscent of a kind of '8 1/2,' 'La Dolce Vita,' [a] certain kind of biographical, semi-biographical type of Hollywood movie — a director and the actor — based on things Marty and I have experienced and kind of overlapping them."
That sounded like a killer idea, even if we didn't know exactly what he was talking about. That was back in April. When we caught up with the Oscar-winner this weekend, while he was promoting "Little Fockers," however, De Niro cast doubt on the idea that the second film, which Eric Roth ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") was writing, would come to fruition.
"We have a very good script that Steven Zaillian wrote, and that we're definitely doing," he said of the straight-forward "Irishman" flick. "The other idea is more ambitious, to do one with Eric doing a flashback/flashforward kind of thing and to do two movies in one and then separate them as movies. I don't know if that will happen."
As Scorsese revealed recently, "The Irishman" is still on track, with financing currently coming together with an eye toward starting production next year. Based on the novel "I Heard You Paint Houses," the story follows a World War II vet-turned-mob hitman with rumored ties to the assassinations of President Kennedy and Jimmy Hoffa. In the same conversation, De Niro confirmed that Al Pacino and Joe Pesci will also be taking part in the first film.
"[W]e do have the one that we're definitely doing. Me, Joe Pesci, Pacino and Marty Scorsese directing," he said.
And while De Niro remains interested in making that Fellini-esque second film, he didn't sound hopeful that it will kick into gear. "I would like it to happen if we can get it going," he said.
Do you hope De Niro and Scorsese make "The Irishman" companion film a reality?

It's fairly okay. The ending has that brilliant silhouette work of the Batman symbol formed by the skycrapers.
What's also good news (but totally expected) is Bane's look at end of the trailer. Much unlike Joel Schumcher's tripe. Nolan has consistently got the look right. Ra' al Ghul, Scarecrow, Two-face & Joker stands testament to that.
For film. Remember the comic, animation version of the said bad guys did look silly at times*
*okay, I am saying this to mun-jameen defence of the Tim Burton movies.
Depends really. Although Burton goes around saying he got in love with world of comics & Batman from Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, it's Nolan who gets the tone, mood & character arcs right.

It's from my .CBR copy btw. And Batman Begins is similar in tone to Miller's Year One.
Well, fond of Burton's because it was an awesome departure from what Adam West???

We were very grateful kids back then. Of course, Nolan's are awesome. Burton got involved in own mad imagination. Nolan got the whole gritty detective/noir thingy right.
Agreed Groucho. I think it's a significant film for many reasons. Burton's whimsical touch falls in line with most Batman comics. Nicholson's turn set the tone for other film adaptations (incl. Nolan) with antagonist being given as much (if not more) importance than Superhero.
Was just stating that Burton actually makes a departure(knowing or unknowingly) from his main source of inspiration (despite taking elements from it), mirroring other famous batman comics (but again not a deliberate choice I feel) no less significant.
Nolan sticks to Miller's YO & Moore's TKJ as they have that contemporary feel with obvious parallels to current political climate. And it also aligns well with his casting. Ledger's interpretation is original & definitive, but I'd wager he had read TKJ to get that level of derangement, & dark cynicism of the character. And his inclinations towards Mann, Scott & Wachowskis helps realize the Miller/Moore universe..

Thilak, noted. Burton is not entirely a sage in my eyes, see what he did to POTA :hammer:. Though I've not read TKJ, I bow to Ledger's, brilliant.
His last few films were crap & makes one to rethink merits of his older films. :sigh2:
And carrying on Oldman in the other thread, looking forward to 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' after that trailer (what cast! And Oldman is the only man who could fill the gravitas of George Smiley that great Alec Guiness had once filled)
I can't post the link of trailer now. Will do later.
Just glad Alfredson ('Let the Right One In') is doing this..
And should be riveting for a Le Carre/ Smiley fan like you (I presume you are)
Holy shit! Oldman as Smiley. Holy shit! Holy Shit! Read those books years ago. Need to revisit them. Thanks for the info, Thilak.
The dudes are back. Holmes/Watson are back for a ride again. Looks we have more action/adventure this time from the trailer

Doesn't look like a Cronenberg film. But then all his Viggo Mortensen films had looked like this. Nothing wrong with this Cronenberg v2.0, but I miss v1.0 precisely coz there was/is no one like him..
