“The Irishman” is the latest feature film by Martin Scorcese produced by Netflix and featuring legendary actors such as Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, and so on. This three and a half hour movie is making quite some noise because the CGI team used a revolutionary technique to digitally “de-age” all the actors, so it fits the screenplay that occurs during the 50s up to modern days. Let’s take a closer look at it! The Irishman The Irishman is Martin Scorcese’s latest movie that was released at the end of November on Netflix. The film is based on Charles Brandt’s book “I Heard You Paint Houses.” The casting of The Irishman features Scorcese’s all-star friends, including – to name a few – Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci. The synopsis: The Irishman is told through Frank Sheeran’s vision (De Niro), a WWII veteran that re-trained as a hitman. The story covers multiple decades – including the 50s/60s/70s until nowaday – and is focused on Jimmy Hoffa’s mysterious demise. If you didn’t watch it already, consider taking a look at it, as it is delightful to watch if you have three and a half hours in front of you. The Irishman was shot by DP Rodrigo Prieto, the same Mexican cinematographer that shot Scorcese’s previous film “Silence.” While the cinematography is undoubtedly a pleasure to watch, there is a technical aspect that is exciting about The Irishman: digitally de-aging actors in post-production.
