Scorsese and De Niro to Reuinite for New Mob Film


'Raging Bull.' 'Goodfellas.' 'Casino.' Their mob movie team-ups are classics, and now, Robert De Niro and director Martin Scorsese are on the verge of reuniting for a new gangster flick.

Variety says Scorsese is attached to direct an adaptation of the book 'I Heard You Paint Houses,' which will find Bobby D. playing Frank "the Irishman" Sheeran, a mob hit man who supposedly murdered 25 people and is thought by many to have played some role in the death of Jimmy Hoffa.

Scorsese recently completed directing Leonardo DiCaprio in the thriller 'Shutter Island,' while DeNiro is currently buddied up with Al Pacino in 'Righteous Kill.'
