TheWiseGuys, which stars Robert De Niro, Debra Messing, and Kathrine Narducci, has set a date for its theatrical release.
Warner Bros. has today announced a shakeup for the release dates of its upcoming projects which sees Robert De Niro's upcoming action film, Wise Guys, favored to be released on a date previously assigned to another film. According to the report via Deadline, Wise Guys will release in theaters on February 2, 2024, replacing The Wizard of Oz animated film Toto which was initially planned to release on the said date.
The announcement came with no further details regarding the film, however, it is believed that the film started principal photography late last year in Ohio. Wise Guys has been a long-gestating project that stalled in development hell due to financial problems. The film is said to have been originally conceived as far back as the 1970s and after years of failing to win over the interest of any major studio was finally able to secure the approval of Warner Bros. last year.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Wise Guys is adapted from a 1985 non-fiction book of the same name by Nicholas Pileggi who is also aboard the adaptation as the screenwriter. This will be the second time the book will be adapted for film as it previously served as the source material for Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas . A critical hit widely regarded as Scorsese's magnum opus, Goodfellas starred De Niro and had Pileggi contributing to the screenplay.
Known for his several mobster films, De Niro is perhaps the only one who could ever play two mobsters all at once and the outcome is likely to excite lovers of the genre. Wise Guys will be directed by Oscar winner Barry Levinson and has cast Debra Messing, Kathrine Narducci, and Cosmo Jarvis in unknown roles.
Wise Guys releases in theaters on February 2, 2024. Check out the trailer for Goodfellas, unarguably one of the best mobster flicks ever made below:
