Casino Imdb Martin Scorsese

Roughly the midpoint of Scorsese’s career, Casino is a film that seems to pull its various elements from a number of other Scorsese movies, while foreshadowing others to come. Martin Scorsese interviews his mother and father about their life in New York City and the family history back in Sicily. These are two people who have lived together for a long time and know each other very well. Director: Martin Scorsese Stars: Catherine Scorsese, Charles Scorsese, Martin Scorsese. Scorsese’s post-Casino material was not warmly received by audiences, and by the 2000s he was on the lookout for a new actor-collaborator in the same vein as De Niro for a comeback. Scorsese found his man in Leonardo DiCaprio, himself looking to shed his Titanic heartthrob image. Casino is a 1995 American epic crime film directed by Martin Scorsese, produced by Barbara De Fina and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film is based on the nonfiction book Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas by Nicholas Pileggi, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the film with Scorsese.

'This era in Las Vegas was really unprecedented,' he said.

'We will never see it again, and it was a time of sort of glamour and glitz and promise and opportunity,' said Schumacher.

'And also a lot of heartache and violence, but that's the Las Vegas that people really identify with.'
