The Irishman is a 2019 American crime film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese and written by Steven Zaillian, based on the 2004 book "I Heard You Paint Houses" by Charles Brandt. It stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, Stephen Graham, Stephanie Kurtzuba, Jesse Plemons, and Harvey Keitel. In September 2014, after years of development hell, The Irishman was announced as Scorsese's next film after Silence (2016). De Niro, who also served as producer, and Pacino were confirmed that month, as was Pesci, who came out of his unofficial retirement to star after being asked numerous times to take the role. Scenes were filmed with a custom three-camera rig to help facilitate the extensive de-aging digital effects that made De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci appear younger in many of the film's flashbacks. The film premiered at the 57th New York Film Festival, and had a limited theatrical release on November 1, 2019, followed by digital streaming on Netflix starting on November 27, 2019. The film received widespread critical acclaim, with particular praise for Scorsese's direction and the performances of De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci. The film received numerous accolades and nominations; at the 77th Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated for five awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama.
