Now that’s commitment.

(It’s a book, not a movie.)

‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ will be Apple’s biggest movie to date.

Here are some things you might not have noticed about the Martin Scorsese classic.

De Niro plays one character over the course of 50 years.

It was reported last week that foreign distribution rights were being shopped around Cannes for Martin Scorsese’s long-developing mob drama The Irishman — a project that’s been gestating for so long that we started to think it might not ever happen. But STX Entertainment has snatched up the rights to distribute the film overseas, which means that The Irishman is finally happening after all.

Earlier this week, Buzzfeed’s Anne Helen Petersen wrote an essay called “The Shaming of Robert De Niro,” in which she criticized cinephiles who think De Niro should retire rather than continue to harm his legacy as one of his generation’s finest actors by appearing in subpar material. Such arguments, Petersen says, are “snobbery at best and thinly veiled ageism at worst.” Starring in films like The Bag Man, Red Lights, and Killing Season “might not be working with Scorsese for 10 years,” she adds, “but it’s not shameful.”

Having an Oscar doesn’t always mean you’re just as good off-script — something Robert De Niro learned the hard way when a joke he made at a fundraiser for President Obama went badly awry.

Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro, 68, and his wife of almost 15 years, Grace Hightower, 56, welcomed their second child, a daughter named Helen Grace, who was recently born via surrogate.

Robert De Niro, who’s never one to shy away from portraying criminals, has signed on to play Bernie Madoff in a potential HBO movie about the disgraced financier.
