The Irishman: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman, starring Robert De Niro, is heading to Netflix. It's based on I Heard You Paint Houses, a book by Charles Brandt that told the story of a mob hitman who claimed he knew what really happened to long-missing union leader Jimmy Hoffa. De Niro will play the hitman; so-called "de-aging" technology will make the 73-year-old actor look younger for the role. Al Pacino and others are in negotiations to join the cast.
