The Irishman — Official Teaser Trailer

added: Wed, Jul 31st '19

After just having been announced that it will make its world premiere in September as the opening night film at the 57th New York Film Festival, Netflix has gone ahead and released the very first teaser trailer for "The Irishman," the highly-anticipated mob epic, which reunites Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese with Oscar-winners Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, as well as Al Pacino.

The Netflix original film, which has been a long-gestating passion project for both Scorsese and De Niro, is based on the best-selling biographical book "I Heard You Paint Houses" by Charles Brandt. It tells the incredible true story of Frank Sheeran (portrayed by De Niro), a former war veteran-turned-notorious mob hit-man who became a close associate of legendary Teamsters union leader Jimmy Hoffa (played here by Pacino).

Set over the course of several decades, the film has applied a digital "de-aging" process, which has turned 75-year-old De Niro, 76-year-old Pesci, and 79-year-old Pacino into younger versions of themselves.

Scorsese directs from a script by Oscar-winning screenwriter Steven Zaillian (Schindler's List, Gangs of New York).

The cast also includes Harvey Keitel, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Romano, Jesse Plemons, and Aleksa Palladino with Anna Paquin playing De Niro's daughter.

"The Irishman" will premiere on September 27th at the New York Film Festival. It will then be released in select theaters and on Netflix sometime in the fall. Watch the teaser, above.

synopsis:
Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci star in Martin Scorsese's THE IRISHMAN, an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, 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, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.
