Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro together again at last?

July 8th, 2008 by Scott Marks

Robert DeNiro & Martin Scorsese

The deplorable Shark Tale notwithstanding, it’s been thirteen years since Casino, the last time Marty and Bobby worked together. Since then DeNiro has “focked” up his career with such execrable offerings as Flawless, 15 Minutes, Hide and Seek and Stardust while Marty found Leonardo DiCaprio a worthy replacement and finally went on to win an Oscar for his worst movie.

At the bottom of a Variety interview concerning the recent threat of an actor’s strike, DeNiro had this to say about future collaborations with Scorsese:

His long collaboration with Martin Scorsese — which he ascribed to the fact it’s always been “a lot of fun to work” together — should produce at least two more films, De Niro said.

His next project with Scorsese, which he declined to detail, is one on which he’s already working and should be ready by 2009, he said.

Earlier in an interview with the festival daily newspaper, De Niro had said he was “superstitious about talking about it.”

YeahbuthowlongdoIgottawait!

Superstitious? This from a man who, for the past decade, has continually fouled cinema and tarnished his reputation with an unbroken string of bad luck abominations. And Marty’s laughing all the way to the f*cking bank with his booze and credit card endorsements.

It’s about time that DeNiro and Scorsese stopped resting on their laurels and got back down to the serious business of picture making. And while they’re at it, dust off that indolent Joe Pesci, too. He would have made such an adorable Kundun.
