Good “Coda” as someone on here said. No hamming it up whatsoever.
I do think Sopranos ending trajectory informed this one.
Not one note “Gimme Shelter” was played, Praise Be.
The de-aging was pretty damn seamless.

>Martin Scorsese’s The Irishman, starring Robert De Niro, may

>accumulated in tax credits and incentives. The negotiations
>were continuing late into the day on Tuesday and it was still

>It is known that the STX deal was tied to Fabrica de Cine. In

>The Irishman, based on the Charles Brandt’s true-crime book

>With the deal, which IndieWire first reported, it was known
>that Scorsese was looking at a budget of about $150M because
>of the visual effects to make the actors appear younger. They
>had been talking to Netflix over the past couple of weeks.

>just undergone a management change at the top level with the
>exit of Brad Grey. It is not known how much Netflix stepped up
>to the plate for to win the rights of The Irishman but it was

>of all the great old actors from the filmmakers’ mob films,
>reuniting Scorsese with his Goodfellas stars De Niro and Joe
>Pesci, as well as mark his first time working with Al Pacino.

>It was one of the biggest sales for foreign rights at Cannes
