I read online today that Pesci will be in it after all. Scorsese's editor Thelma Shunamaker said in interview he will be in it i guess. I think that is awesome. Even though I dont really believe Sheeran's story I still think this movie could be awesome.

I don't know if anyone can ever do better than Nicholson's portrayal of Hoffa. He was dead on.
Jack should reprise the role in this film imo

Righteous kill could have been a good movie [emoji327] it seems like they both phoned in they're performances

I dunno, I only saw it once but from what I recall the twist was quite predictable, but I agree with your phone in comment

He's been a little more public lately than he was during the 2000s he was also toying with the idea of the new gotti movie I believe he sued them something about having to gain weight to play a role then not being compensated properly

To film this movie they will use cutting edge de-aging computer technology. Think Benjamin Button but in reverse and 10 years more advanced.

I can't wait to see who is going play Tony Jack Giacalone.

I always thought Tony Sirico, Paulie Walnuts from the Sopranos, is a spitting image of Tony Jack during the Hoffa years.

That's what I was about to say too. I fucked up and bought the Blu-Ray before watching it. It hasn't been put back in since :lol: That shit was brutal. They also shared screen time in Godfather 2 but not "together" of course. But I agree, there is no fact checking anymore.

I also don't have my hopes up for this movie.

Good to hear that Pesci will be in it. He said no to it a few months back. Cant wait.

Deniro as Sheeran

Pesci as Buffalino

Keitel as Angelo Bruno

Pacino as Jimmy Hoffa? what? lol....Odd choice for Hoffa imo
