Netflix 'The Irishman': Release date, cast, plot, all you need to know about Martin Scorsese's film

A lot of the $175 million budget was spent on visual effects to make the lead actors look 30 years younger at different stages in the film

One of the most anticipated films on Netflix this year happens to be directed by Martin Scorsese. 'The Irishman', all set to release in autumn of 2019, will have Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci share screen space in the gangster drama.

This film also reunites the 'Goodfellas' director with Pacino and De Niro. 'The Irishman' is based on the book 'I Heard You Paint Houses' by Charles Brandt. The book is based on real-life labor union official Frank 'The Irishman' Sheeran who reportedly had links to the Bufalino crime family and Jimma Hoffa, a labor union leader.
