Here's 10 behind the scenes facts about Martin Scorsese's Netflix movie TheIrishman, nominated for 10 Oscars, that the cast and crew have shared with The Hollywood Reporter.
. He worked for nine years to fund the project, until he landed a deal with Netflix for $160 million.
"The tradeoff is that it's a streamer," Scorsese continued, though he added that he insisted it had a run in theaters. "I've been at this like 47 years or something. I've had a few films play one or two weeks in a theater and taken out. Including, especially, Niko Tavernise/Netflix. Pesci was asked 40 times to join the project before eventually giving in, with De Niro doing most of the convincing.
The producer added that the film didn't change much despite its long development time. "I don't think the movie itself changed very much. And the script didn't change very much," she said. "But what did change was everyone's perspective. Marty [Scorsese] talks a lot about the perspective of time and place, and how they now look at things as men in their 70s, versus men in their 60s.
"He was very happy," Sarandos said of Scorsese. "Betting that Martin Scorsese is going to make a great movie with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci and Al Pacino is not that big of a stretch." While some people were hesitant to watch the film due to its three-and-a-half hour length, the cast said that the extended running time was necessary.
