Martin Scorsese is putting the old gang back together ” and swearing in a new member ” for a mob movie green-lighted through big-bucks deals struck at the Cannes Film Festival, according to reports Sunday.
“The Irishman,” which has been stuck in development hell for years, is set to star Scorsese stable-mates Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, who both played key roles in the director’s classic gangster flicks, “GoodFellas” and “Casino.”
Reports said it would also reunite Scorsese with Harvey Keitel, who last worked with Scorsese on 1988’s “The Last Temptation of Christ” and co-starred in the director’s 1976 legendaru “Taxi Driver.”
The instant Oscar-bait film would also mark the first collaboration between ScorÂsese and legendary “Godfather” star Al Pacino.
