The Movie We’ve All Been Waiting For is HERE
The Irish Movie We’ve All Been Waiting For Hit Netflix Today..
With a star-studded cast of Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Martin Scorsese's mobster movie "The Irishman" could be the veteran director's greatest movie of all time.
27 Nov, 2019
"The Irishman" Netflix release date is here and we know you just can't wait to dive in so we've put together all you need to know about Scorsese's most expensive movie to date.
The movie hit overnight on its release date Wednesday, 27 November.
"The Irishman" is a movie adaption of the book, "I Heard You Paint Houses," by Charles Brandt.
The movie tells the story of organized crime in post-war America through the reflective eyes of World War II veteran Frank "the Irishman" Sheeran, a hustler, and hitman who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century.
Spanning decades, the film chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history - the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa.
The much-anticipated flick offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries, and connections to mainstream politics.
Who are the cast and crew of "The Irishman?"
The movie is directed by eight-time Oscar-nominated director Martin Scorsese and has been in the works for over a decade having endured financial and developmental problems along the way.
The movie brings together a star-studded cast of some of the greatest mob actors of all time including Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Harvey Keitel.

Pacino plays Union leader Hoffa and De Niro plays his friend and alleged killer Sheeran, while Keitel and Pesci play rival bosses of the Philadelphia and Bufalino crime families.
It is the ninth feature collaboration between De Niro and Scorsese and their first since 1995's Casino, the fourth film to star both De Niro and Pacino (following The Godfather Part II, Heat, and Righteous Kill), and remarkably, the first time Pacino has been directed by Scorsese.

The film will also feature Oscar winner Anna Paquin, two-time Emmy winner Bobby Cannavale, two-time Emmy nominee Jesse Plemons, and Emmy-winner Ray Romano.

Two-time Academy Award-winning cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto, who worked with Scorcese on The Wolf of Wall Street and Silence will also be behind the scenes.
What is The Irishman's budget?
The initial cost was of The Irishman was thought to be budgeted for around $100 million but the latest estimates put the figure as high as $200 million
In 2016 producer Fábrica de Cine agreed to finance the film with Paramount Pictures retaining domestic rights. However, when de Cine realized Scorsese was relying even more heavily on de-aging technology to produce the movie, he pulled out as costs increased.

Paramount soon followed but Netflix stepped in and bought the rights for $105 million at the beginning of 2017, agreeing to finance the film's revised $125 million price-tag. But the costs have kept rising in part due to the dependence on the technology and will likely become Scorsese's costliest movie ever.

What is CGI, de-aging technology?
Computer-generated imagers (CGI) de-aging technology is a visual effects technique used to make actors look younger.
It is a time-intensive process requiring repeated manipulation of individual movie frames to soften or erase wrinkles and reshape the face's physiological structure -think of every frame being photoshopped as movements and expressions change.
As "The Irishman" chronologies Sheeran's life over the decades, Scorsese is using the technology to de-age cast members rather than using alternative actors with De Niro appearing as young as 30 years old.
