Ahead of the film’s world premiere at New York Film Festival on Friday, Martin Scorsese fans finally got a full trailer for The Irishman, which is coming to Netflix on November 27 following a limited theatrical run.
The trailer premiered exclusively on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday night. Earlier, the late-night host—one of the few people who has had the opportunity to see Scorsese’s ninth collaboration with star Robert De Niro—tweeted that the film was “everything you want in a Scorsese film and more.”
The hype for The Irishman has been building for years—at 209 minutes, it’s Scorsese’s longest film to date, and with a production budget of $159 million, it’s also one of his most expensive. De Niro stars as Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, an aging World War II veteran who reflects on his life of crime with the mafia, and specifically his role in the death of real-life labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa (Al Pacino). In this new trailer, we see Sheeran speaking with mafia boss and lawyer Bill Bufalino (Ray Romano), blatantly lying has he claims he never shows up late, drinks on the job, or hits anyone.
From there we see Sheeran spiral into a life of crime, including, it seems, his possible involvement in the Kennedy assassination. We also get a good look at the much-talked-about CGI de-aging of De Niro, which Scorsese used to make his star look younger, and which Twitter was quick to meme yesterday. And was that a Taxi Driver reference I spotted, when De Niro is examining his guns spread out on the bed?
Other Irishman cast members include Joe Pesci, Bobby Cannavale, Harvey Keitel, and Anna Paquin. The screenplay was written by Steven Zaillian, and based on the 2004 memoir I Heard You Paint Houses by Charles Brandt. The Irishman will play in select theaters November 1, before streaming digitally on Netflix on November 27.
