Martin Scorsese talked with Variety about “The Irishman,” its challenges and rewards, and the responsibility of filmmakers to “enrich” audiences — and about the meaning of life. “The Irishman” (starring Robert De Niro and scripted by Steven Zaillian) is nominated for 10 Oscars, including best picture and Scorsese as director.

Jonah Hill just wanted to see his friend Martin Scorsese. Coca-Cola wanted to make an interesting Super Bowl commercial. Somehow, those two goals came together.

Actors sometimes complain about being typecast, but it’s a fact of life for anyone in entertainment. John Ford is usually labeled a director of Westerns, despite “The Grapes of Wrath” and  “Mister Roberts.” David Lean is known for his epics, but he also directed “Brief Encounter” and “Summertime.” Vincente Minnelli?

As he reflects on his four decades working with Martin Scorsese, re-recording mixer Tom Fleischman smiles, recalling the roughly 25 feature and documentary productions on which they collaborated, from 1980's Raging Bull to the director's most recent mob epic, The Irishman.His favorite part of the collaboration? "When we've been working for hours on a difficult sequence or a tricky musical transition and I turn around and we both smile and nod and he shouts, 'Great!' And gives me a

Martin Scorsese has finally roped in two of his favourite leading men to share the same screen space in his next film. Before presenting Robert De Niro with the Life Achievement Award at the 26th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, Leonardo DiCaprio confirmed that he will soon star alongside the legendary actor in Scorsese's upcoming movie, Killers of the Flower Moon. While the project had been rumoured earlier, this is the first time it has been officially announced by a reliable source.

The actors are ready to deliver their trophies for the best film and television performances of the year. The 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards will, like the 2020 Oscars, take place without a host this year after being headed up Will & Grace star Megan Mullally in 2019. However, the event will still feature a bevy of talent taking the stage to help dole out those dramatic statues.

When 1917 was announced as Best Film at the Golden Globes 2020, we all were left baffled! How did this Sam Mendes film win over hot favourites like Martin Scorsese's The Irishman and Noah Baumbach's Marriage Story? However, once watched, people understood why this technical marvel was the chosen one amongst several others. Furthermore, 1917 picked up 10 nominations at Oscars 2020, which includes Best Film and Best Director for Sam.

Magnolia Pictures has released a new trailer for Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band, a forthcoming documentary produced by Martin Scorsese. The film, which hits theaters February 21, is directed by Daniel Roher, and largely focuses on Robertson’s personal journey, including a glimpse into his life before the Band. Watch the trailer below.

Casting director Ellen Lewis first worked alongside Martin Scorsese on 1989’s “New York Stories.” Since then, Lewis has worked with Scorsese on casting his films including “Goodfellas,” “The Departed,” “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “The Irishman.”

Many have vented their frustration with this year's nominations

Issa Rae is calling it like she sees it. The Insecure creator and star, 35, threw shade after the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences failed to nominate any women directors for Oscars in 2020.
