Arriva in sala il 4, 5 e 6 novembre e dal 27 novembre sarà disponibile su Netflix The Irishman, il nuovo film di Martin Scorsese con Robert De Niro e Al Pacino.
00:00We decided we had to do something. I think it was about 2010. No, 2008.
00:05Yeah.
00:062007.
00:072007.
00:08And so we just thought it was enough time. We couldn't settle on something. So this is a project that we thought we would have some possibilities.
00:17I was really looking for something with Bob to enrich, more or less, where we had gone in the 70s and the 80s and the early 90s.
00:26I mean, you know, to just replicate what we had...tried to do at the beginning of our careers.
00:35And then I said, well, I have to read this book that I've been always wanting to read, called I Heard You Paint Houses.
00:41And so I did read it, just as research for the character. And then I, after I read it, I got together with Marley, and I said, you've got to look at this.
00:49And I think this is what you're going to want to do. So, that was it.
00:54I mean, the point is that we were trying to find something that we felt right with. I don't know how you define right.
01:01You know, it's ambiguous and kind of a...we felt comfortable with, in a way.
01:10And something we couldn't articulate it. And once he described this character to me, I felt that he had a good sense of it.
01:18And I said, well, this is maybe where we could really try to explore and see what we could come up with.
01:24And it might really be of value, ultimately, for us as creative partners working together and getting Al involved, getting Joe Pesci involved, and the rest of the cast.
01:34Steve wrote the script, which was terrific and wonderful, as Marty says.
01:40And then it was a matter of getting everybody's schedules to line up.
01:46And Marty was doing Hugo. I remember coming over here...I don't know when you were doing Hugo.
01:512009, 2010, I think.
01:53And we were talking about that and how to...what we were going to do with his availability.
01:59He wanted to do silence and so on. And then I said to Marty, I wanted to make sure he was okay if we would just let it out there when we talk on interviews.
02:10And usually I'm very superstitious about that, because when you talk about it, it usually doesn't happen.
02:15I thought maybe in this case, since we were so...we had no backers, no people really interested in the idea that we were doing it with Al and Joe, that I played with Marty, and then we kind of talked to Joe, and then Al about, they're okay, and he mentioning that they're on board.
02:32So we did that, and then we had a reading of the script.
02:36Marty and Bob, very long time.
02:40So when Bob came to me, called me about it, and it sounded really interesting.
02:48The original conception of what a film is and where it's to be seen has now changed so radically that we may have to say, okay, let's say there's a certain kind of film that's made here.
03:03There might be, obviously, virtual reality films. There's holograms. There's all sorts of things that have been becoming that we don't know.
03:10So, in effect, one thing that will never, something that should always be protected as much as possible, and I think will always be there, is a communal experience.
03:22And I think that's best in the theater. Now, homes are becoming theaters too. But it's a major change. And I think one has to keep an open mind.
03:35You know, there's no doubt, like, seeing a film with an audience is really, really important.
03:47There is a problem, though, in that you have to make the film.
03:51This is a technique that's early on. It's being formed. And it's like what they have said. It's a form of makeup.
04:05And it could change things. But we, I don't think you feel that way as an actor. I think you feel that as an actor, you're playing a role.
04:19Like, I'm like, a actor, you're playing a role.
04:23And having to be funny.
04:27Then I'm like, I have to make the film to the world.
04:31And I think that's what I want to make the film to the world.
04:35And I think that also I Am I Am I Am I Am I Am I Am.
