“I heard you paint houses?” Finally, after years of waiting, the teaser trailer for Martin Scorsese’s long-gestating mob epic has dropped. Starring Hollywood legends Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, THE IRISHMAN tells of the exploits of mob hitman Frank Sheeran, including the alleged murder of Jimmy Hoffa.
Based on Charles Brandt’s novel ‘I Heard You Paint Houses,’ THE IRISHMAN is an epic saga of organized crime set in post-war America, told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran (DeNiro), 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 (Pacino), and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.
THE IRISHMAN arrives on Netflix in the autumn.
