- Story Text:Parts of Hollywood Boulevard were transformed into 1960s Pennsylvania for the red-carpet premiere of "The Irishman" on Thursday (October 24).
The film reunites Robert De Niro and director Martin Scorsese in the 3-1/2 hour long mob drama set over several decades that looks at a Pennsylvania organized crime family with Oscar winners Al Pacino and Joe Pesci rounding out the main cast.
The Netflix picture uses digital de-ageing technology to show the characters in their 30s and 40s. De Niro, Pesci and Pacino are all in their 70s.
The project is Scorsese's and De Niro's latest collaboration following acclaimed works like "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "Goodfellas" and "Casino".
The plot, based on Charles Brandt's book "I Heard You Paint Houses", is tied to the disappearance of former U.S. Teamsters union boss Jimmy Hoffa, portrayed by Pacino in his first Scorsese collaboration.
The film, which has won rave reviews from critics touting it an Oscar contender, will have a limited theatrical run before and after its Nov. 27 Netflix release.
