I think the reporting is a little off.

It doesn't have Leonardo DiCaprio in it, so I have my doubts regarding the veracity of the article.

There's hardly a Scorsese film that doesn't bore me to tears.

I'm still blown away by the concept of a Martin Scorcese children's film, which is what this sounds like.

This film is all sorts of weird, from the Scorcese-Cohen collaboration to the fact that Sorcese is doing a children's film. But lashing out against just because it's 3D is ridiculously silly.

He's always shaken it up genre-wise.

He's done coming of age ("Mean Streets")
He's done comedy (albeit the vein that is as black as the sky on a moonless night ["The King of Comedy", "After Hours"])
He's done sports AND biopic ("Raging Bull")
He's helmed musicals (of a sort ["New York, New York"])
He's done biopic/spiritual passion projects ("Kundun")
He's done religious films ("The Last Temptation of Christ")
He's helmed borderline-pedestrian commercial pictures ("The Color of Money")
He's helmed historical biopics ("The Aviator")
He's helmed period pieces/straight drama ("The Age of Innocence")
He's helmed thrillers ("Shutter Island")
He's helmed remakes ("The Departed", "Cape Fear"
He's also proved himself somewhat adept as Mob thrillers ("Casino", "Goodfellas")

And he's excelled at damn-near all of them.

This doesn't surprise me at all. It seems like a natural evolution for him.

/couldn't think of a suitable pithy two-second umbrella description for "Taxi Driver" or "Bringing out the Dead".

I agree it could be great, and for those old enough to remember he even gave his blessing to a children's parody "GoodFeathers"

/I still hope he does the Sinatra bio-pic.

You could classify Taxi Driver as "Inspirational" (to John Hinckley Jr.), and Bringing Out the Dead as "Nicolas Cage" (a genre unto itself).

After watching and being very disappointed in Shutter Island, I dont know if I could stomach watching this.
However, if he can pull off the Sinatra bio-pic, I am totally there!

he did rock documentary/concert with rolling stones. i still haven't watched it but i hear it's great

Ooh. documentary. Good catch on your part.

"The Last Waltz' (or, my choice as second best concert film ever [following "Stop Making Sense"].

/was going purely from memory. Just knew I'd omit at least one flick on his filmography.

Scorsese has got grandchildren so he's probably following the age-old filmmaker's pattern of wanting to leave his grandchildren a film that they can watch without experiencing major psychological trauma.

CarnySaur:

I did chortle.

For that book 3D makes sense. The book is about early films, so I'm guessing that Marty is going to find a way to make 3D seem mundane and the old 2D films look magical.

Also, Cohen is a gifted performer. He may be known for cutting loose and wrestling large naked men, but he is also a master of restraint when he wants to be.

/trailer is going to be clockwork gears flying at your face and big swooshing sounds

//it is going to rock your face off

So what you're saying is that Sacha is going to win an Oscar for Best Actor?

Scorsese makes the best farking films...

No, this is Fark, where "popular" & "good" are always mutually exclusive.

Scorsese sucks, you mindless redstater. Look at everyone on here who agrees with me.

Sa-wing and a miss.

And yes, the concept of a Scorsese kids' movie blows my mind as well. And I'd really, really like a full length GoodFeathers movie, that would rock.

if its not a gimmick, then there ain't nothing wrong with 3d... Why would someone not want something to be an immersive as possible?

It would be like being able to see food on your computer screen, but demanding not to be able to eat it.

Did you forget Shutter Island or are you choosing to forget it?

Sorry, had to.

You heard so wrong. That movie almost made me dislike the Stones and I love them. They look awful (HD is not for the elderly), they sound terrible, and only a few of the guest appearances (namely Buddy Guy and Jack White) are worthwhile. There are a few decent songs in the deleted scenes, but that movie is the worst Scorsese movie I've ever seen not called Gangs of New York.
