Scorsese's The Irishman

I saw activity in this thread and thought a trailer dropped. I hope they don't push it back again.

I hope they don't either!

Damn it, I want that trailer! But at the same time I'd rather he get the de-aging right.

Same! Must be pretty difficult to de-age Pesci, Pacino, De Niro, and Keitel 40 years!

 

[jmc]

Difficult indeed. But it says how great a director the man is that he is so focused on getting the ageing right.

 

[scarlet-witch]

I want it to be right too, but at the same time I'm like "hire Marvel's people and hurry up."

I feel the same!

 

[jmc]

Eh, Marvel people aren't Scorsese.

Scorsese film The Irishman smooths out stars’ wrinkles . . . and loses a little edge

Producer Irwin Winkler talked about the film a few times recently to promote his book, "A Day in Movies". Pretty interesting that the first de-aging tests started mid-2015.



He starts talking about The Irishman at around 35:20-38:00. Says the cut he saw was around "three hours."

I am fairly concerned with what ILM is going to come up with here. The folks over at Lola effects use a very particular process for their deaging. It's actually a 2d process, more like digital painting. There's no 3d modeling and it takes less time. ILM uses much more of a 3d rendered head replacement process. It's great for stunt doubles but having seen their Leia and Grand Moff Tarkin face replacements I am concerned with how this will come out.

I can never not think about about De Niro won an Oscar for playing the younger version of a Marlon Brando character and how that casting wouldn't even happen today.

Yeah, I definitely think nobody does de-aging better than Lola!

I’ve said this before but since Scorsese admits there are issues with the de-aging, there is the possibility the film could be pushed back.

ILM and WETA are supposed to be the best at what they do though there are a lot of smaller houses that are doing it just as well nowadays. I feel like they may be using some improved technique after the criticisms they got about Rogue One.

So end of September to mid October apparently.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Whatever happened to Scorsese’s SCTV documentary. I’m probably looking as forward to that as I am to this.

Works for me!

Martin Scorsese's ‘The Irishman' Marked Down For November 27th Release

Fandango has given us as official a release date as we’re likely going to get for Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman.” It looks as though the oft-rumored Thanksgiving weekend date is indeed happening. November 27th it is, for now.

Take this with a grain of salt as I have never heard of this site.

 

[Pennywise]

If true, wow!!

 

[terry78]

I like how that clip title could also double as a headline

Even if the de-aging is visually convincing, there’s gonna be a weird disconnect hearing older Pacino’s rough voice coming out of young Pacino’s face when we all know he didn’t sound like that at that age.
