Movie News: Robert De Niro Will Play Bernie Madoff In New Film!

I likes....he even favors him a tad bit, eh?

Robert De Niro's production company Tribeca Productions and John Burnham Schwartz will take on highly the publicized scandal that rocked the nation: The Bernie Madoff debacle, in a new HBO film entitled, “Truth and Consequences: Inside the Life of the Madoff Family”. 

For those that have been living under a rock, Bernie Madoff rocked the nation for swindling people out of their investments to him and his company through ponzi schemes. He disgraced his family (one of his sons committed suicide last year) and is now serving a 150-year jail sentence leaving many of his clients penny-less.

Robert DeNiro Helps Julia Roberts Celebrate New Film At Tribeca

Robert DeNiro, co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival, was on hand last night to help celebrate his friend Julia Roberts at the premiere of her new film “Jesus Henry Christ.”

For the film, Julia worked with her husband, photographer Danny Moder, who shot the project: "It was so great to be working on the same movie with him. He's so good at what he does. He's so clear and focused. It's actually hard to get his attention on the set because he's really like, 'No, I'm working.' But at lunch I will be like, 'Hi, remember me, your wife?'" 

Cute! More flix under the break....

Daddy DeNiro Looks Ravishing For "Esquire" Magazine!

I.LOVE.THIS.MAN.!!! One of the best to ever do it.....

Robert DeNiro (aka "Daddy DeNiro") is the new cover guy for the Jan 2011 issue of Esquire magazine. In the feature, he discusses President Obama, The Godfather movie and advice for young actors (among other things).

If you don't do it the right way now, it'll never be what it should be — and it's there forever.

If there's a shortcut taken when you're building a hotel, people are going to notice and feel cheated out of something. It's kind of like a movie: Cumulatively, all the shortcuts and cheats take away from the texture.

It's interesting when your kids give you advice. I had a conversation with my oldest son the other day. He was saying, "You should do this ... and this ... and this." Not that I agreed with him on everything. But it was a good feeling.

Be brave, but not reckless.

Marlon and I never talked about our performances in The Godfather. What was he going to say? We knew each other. I spent time on his island with him. But you don't talk about acting. You talk about anything but acting. I guess the admiration is unspoken.

Everybody can criticize. But at the end of the day, you know Obama's intentions are in the right place. You should've done this. You should stand up for this more than that. The president's got to deal with that every moment. Imagine what it would be like with all the different forces coming at you, having to compromise, to weigh the consequences of one decision as opposed to another. It's tricky. Come to think of it, it's kind of like being a director.

EVERYTHING, yes?

More flix from the premiere under the break....

Joe Pesci, Al Pacino And Robert Deniro In New Movie!!!!!!!!!!

Who in the hell thought of this idea??? I'd like to kiss ya!

In the best news I've heard all day, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci are now circling The Irishman, the mob drama that Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro have been working on together!!!

And Scorsese too??? EPIC!

The Irishman is based on the exploits of mob hitman Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran as chronicled in the book I Heard You Paint Houses.
 
As of right now, the pic is being developed at Paramount by De Niro and Jane Rosenthal's Tribeca Productions.

There is so much star power surrounding this film, we could have another Scarface or Goodfellas on our hands!!!
