There was a rumor for a time that Leo will play Robert Kennedy.

How on earth is this not superwide, major production house picture is beyond me. Bravo Netflix but still.

Because with a budget of $125 million, this would not even make more than $200 million. It's unfortunate, but that would be the reality.

Depends on how you sell it, throw a lil’ DiCap on the side and voila. But yeah, probably.

And this movie is a plum for Netflix, which was said to have committed to dropping the reported $125M into Scorsese’s lap to produce this film and gave the filmmaker a big payday (we heard around $10M and up to $15M+). The film is getting ready to wrap and still has to be edited and special effects are still to be done to reverse the ages of the actors. We are now hearing from multiple sources that the film’s budget is well over $125M and more in the $140M range (and climbing).

@ErikDavis
I’ve also heard whispers - not confirmed, mind you - that Leo has a role in Scorsese’s THE IRISHMAN
Wow that's huuuge.

I don't quite understand why he didn't cast younger versions.

This spending spree extravaganza is getting ridiculous.

Imagine Coppola de-aging Brando and not using De Niro.
