In another De Niro / Scorsese story to emerge from the Berlin Film Festival is after being asked in the press line about returning to mob movies Martin Scorsese replied “Bob De Niro and I are talking about something that has to do with that world. There's no doubt about that. We're working on something like that, but it's from the vantage point of older men looking back, none of this running around stuff."
So, maybe De Niro’s love affair with unchallenging comedies is over and done with. And that’s a great thing!!!
