London, March 8 (IANS) Veteran actor Robert De Niro has confirmed he will team up with Martin Scorsese for the ninth time for “The Irishman”.
It will be the ninth time they will reteam for a project, with Joe Pesci and Al Pacino also on board for roles.
Discussing the film, based on the novel by Charles Brandt, De Niro said: “It’s a movie based on a book called ‘I Heard You Paint Houses’.”
