Silence Next for Scorsese. Then, Irishman.

[Hatshepsutely]

Fassbender or McAvoy.

[Aldo]

Carloto Cota is the answer (to anything)

I think I have to watch TABU and THE LINES OF WELLINGTON sooner or later

He seems like a very fine choice.

Not sure which exact age segment we’re looking for, but… Joaquin Phoenix? Mark Ruffalo? Elijah Wood? Tobey Maguire? Jesse Eisenberg? Jeremy Renner? Cillian Murphy? Diego Luna? Emile Hirsch?

I'd love Phoenix and Scorsese to work together, that's a pairing that's overdue in my opinion.

Tobey Maguire? Emile Hirsche? Elijah Wood?

LOL. This movie would be better off with DDL playing every role than with Tobey Maguire or Elijah Wood.

Amen! He needs a break from Leo.

[McTeague]

Tobey Maguire? Emile Hirsche? Elijah Wood?

LOL, just suggestions of young actors that are not super handsome, not listing my actual preferences.

[oliksa]

Amen! He needs a break from Leo.

But also even one more movie with De Niro would be so great.
In my opinion Casino was his last real masterpiece.

I agree...btw a film so overlooked during the awards season that year, except Sultry Stone, acclaimed as De Niro's wife

EXCLUSIVE: Martin Scorsese will finally realize his long-held dream to direct Silence, an adaptation of the Shusaku Endo novel about 17th Century Jesuits who risk their lives to bring Christianity to Japan. Financing for the film has been secured by Emmett/Furla Films, as part of a two picture deal that principals Randall Emmett and George Furla have made, to co-finance a second film by the director. The plan is to shoot in Taiwan in July, 2014, depending on cast, from a script by Jay Cocks and Scorsese.

I’m told that things are moving fast on this and that they are all making plans for Scorsese to come to Cannes and launch the picture. Numerous sales companies have been vying to handle foreign rights, but that task will fall to Len Blavatnik and Stuart Ford, who’ll jointly handle the foreign on the film for Emmett/Furla through their respective Axis Films and IM Global.

I like Leo, but I REALLY hope he doesn't cast him. Other actors in his age range deserve a chance to work with a legend like Marty.

CASINO has aged well. Chewed out at the time for being too much GOODFELLAS, but time has revealed it to be what it always was: a great Scorsese movie.

[lazarus]

I won't believe this is actually happening until cameras roll.

Also, if this is moving forward quickly, why is it not going into production until next summer?

Might he be doing another movie in the meantime?

[eoindaly2k11]

I hope DDL is still doing the movie making it the third time Lewis and Scorsese work together.

Well, Scorsese has Wolfs to finish, promote and campaign. Plus, getting the paperwork done for filming in Taiwan make take some time.
