I’m about to board a plane to NYC. I’ll be attending the 57th annual New York Film Festival, more specifically the 9 am world premiere screening of Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman”(which screens on Friday). As it stands, the film clocks in at 3 hours and 29 minutes, making it the lengthiest big-studio movie of the entire decade. In between all that will be interviews, a 10 am Thursday screening of Kelly Reichardt’s “First Cow” and, cross your fingers, the Netflix/NYFF/Irishman reception (many thanks to Albert Tello over at Netflix for all the help).
While James L. Brooks teased last year that "we'll soon be seeing" Jack Nicholson, 89, act again, and that he was "reading scripts," that idea has now been shut down by his close friend Michael Douglas, 82.
