Martin Scorsese is heading back to Vegas. The director of Goodfellas and Casino will serve as executive producer for a new Netflix series set in Las Vegas from Billions creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien. The series is currently untitled (probably because the title Casino was already taken), but here's the official description:
Kundun premiered on Christmas Day in 1997 on only two(!) screens in the United States, and ultimately grossed less than $6 million total on a nearly $30 million budget. In 1998, Disney CEO Michael Eisner apologized to Chinese officials for releasing the film, saying: "The bad news is that the film was made; the good news is that nobody watched it."
The New York Film Festival was a family affair for the Daniel Day-Lewis and Rebecca Miller family. Day-Lewis returned from retirement to co-write and star in "Anemone," directed by his 27-year-old son Ronan, who sent in his film after his mother submitted her five-hour Martin Scorsese documentary, " Mr. Scorsese." New York Film Festival artistic Director Dennis Lim invited them both.
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Martin Scorsese making a new movie. Nearly 60 years since his debut feature Who's That Knocking at My Door, Scorsese continues to be a powerhouse, a director whose name is synonymous with prestige and quality in equal measure. Even after all this time, the 82-year-old director is still hard at work, as implied by actress Emily Blunt, who is set to star in Scorsese's next untitled feature.
Francesca Scorsese shared a photo in her Instagram story that showed her father appearing emotional about the milestone. The image showed the 'Goodfellas' director covering his eyes with his hands.
