Al Pacino and Joe Pesci are said to be circling the mob drama I Heard You Paint Houses" aka The Irishman, says Deadline.
Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro have been working on this one--De Niro will play Frank Sheeran, a mob assassin reputed to have carried out more than 25 murders. The title refers to mob slang for contract killings. Scorsese calls action
Steven Zaillian adapts author Charles Brandt novel. The author befriended Sheeran shortly before the latter's death in 2003 and among the crimes Sheeran confessed to Brandt was the killing and dismemberment of Jimmy Hoffa.
Scorsese, De Niro and Jane Rosenthal will produce the pic.
Pacino has worked with De Niro in the Michael Mann-directed classic Heat, as well as the not so well received Righteous Kill. While Pesci and De Niro teamed with Scorsese on Goodfellas, Casino and Raging Bull.
