It’s finally coming.
“The Irishman,” the highly anticipated film directed by Martin Scorsese which shot numerous scenes in Southwest Brooklyn and put out a casting call locally for Italian-Americans who wanted to be in the film as extras, finally has a release date, Sept. 27 at the 57th New York Film Festival.
A trailer was just released for the movie, which centers on former hitman and World War II veteran Frank Sheeren and the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and which will also be available to view this fall via Netflix, which produced it.
