Netflix has acquired its most prestigious title yet: a Martin Scorsese movie. “Scorsese’s movie is a risky deal, and Paramount is not in the position to take risks,” a source reportedly told IndieWire. “This way, he can make the project he wants.”In other words, Scorsese’s team wants to work somewhere that executives won’t panic about box-office numbers. “The Irishman” will mark Scorsese’s ninth movie with De Niro. Scorsese has long preached about his preference for shooting on film instead of digitally, the medium most directors opt for nowadays.
